No art class as the electricity was being turned off for a number of hours in the village where the teacher lives so we couldn't have this week's demonstration on Zoom. Instead she recorded it and sent it to us on Thursday evening. I did quite a lot of things during the day after my rest yesterday.
Usual walk, it's pretty quiet these days, just me and a few dog walkers. It was quite cloudy but not as much as Thursday, and breezy, warmer than expected.
I made the tweak to my lion picture that the teacher had suggested, added a few whiskers and that was it. Put my materials away. The next project is about travelling - places we would have gone, or have been to, or somewhere we'd like to return to. The medium is Inktense pencils, I struggled with them when we did a couple of in class but had some success with a homework piece I did during lockdown. I'll probably do something from one of my photos of Greece, I like the sharp contrasts and the light and shade.
Neatened the front lawn along the edges of the drive and watered the pots. The postie arrived with a parcel for me, had a chat with her. Repotted my tomato plant, I have some tomato feed but I'm not sure when I should start using it. Indoors for a cup of tea, started looking for something upstairs and got sidetracked, decided to give some non fiction books to the charity shop, I've hung onto them for years but it seems a bit pointless so I'll get rid. Ironed the bedding and changed the bed, I've been putting it off as it was too hot. Did yet more sorting of art materials and seemed to end up worse than when I started. Oh well, no big deal.
