Nekkid Watercolour

 

This is the last painting we did in life drawing. I was the only one daft enough to do the painting in watercolours, everyone else did theirs in oils. And of course I ran out of time, partly because I missed 2 classes, partly because watercolours can be slow to use. But I still would have used watercolours, turps make me light-headed, and oil paint clean up is a pain to do. (I'm sure if class had of been longer, we all would have went loopy from the turp fumes :p)

And Jen was Never Seen Again

 

I have wanted an e-reader for awhile and when Mr.F saw these for £29.00 I grabbed 2, (just in case I break one) :D Its great when my hands go numb and I can't turn a page but can swipe pages on a screen. I would go insane if I couldn't read, so one of these is perfect. It hardly weighs anything, the cover weighs more then the Nook :p

 

And our kitchen at the moment...to the chip shop for tea :p

So I def. have tennis elbow, can't use a mouse or type properly. So while my hands are not 100% numb any more,(fingertips are still numb :/), I can't really move my arm. Doctors orders to rest, not a lot of drawing allowed,(I can draw, but only for a short time and lots of breaks), and no lifting with the arm. This will be a fun summer :p

Of course the only pain meds that work are Tramadol, which make a lot of people high as a kite :p Thankfully I am not one of those people or I would probably start drawing really psychedelic art

Wordless Wednesday

Play With Me!

Someone is very pushy when they want to play :p

 

A standing stone about 10 minutes walk from the house. There are a few stone circles a few hours away that I want to get some photos of, but want to wait until its a better day and the sun is shining *crosses fingers*

And the other side of the stone

 

The view is really nice on a sunny day, can see a lot more of the hills

Learning to Draw Again

 

Well, sort of. My hands are not 100%, but good enough to try to draw something. The fingers are still numb, and my hand shakes when drawing, but it is still possible to start a drawing if I don't mind taking more time on it, (and erasing a lot of shaky lines :p) And of course, on top of numb hands, I might have tennis elbow, holding a mouse gets really painful and I can't move my arm certain directions or pick up things...I always say, if I was a horse, I would have been shot or turned into glue by now :p
