Some speed-paint adventures from the last few days – all strictly 10 (squirrel) or 15 minutes. It’s helping a lot to enforce these mini-deadlines on myself. Procrastination is not winning this week. All posted on Instagram if you’d like more regular updates.

Trying to draw a scene with lots of separate white elements – part speed painting, part over-complicated, over-blended muddle. This doesn’t quite work for me but I feel I’ve learned something from it. And I’ve stayed on the pet theme. I need a new theme for next week…
