For Sale This months location in the Virtual Paintout is Tasmania :) Very nice looking place and another one to add to the travel list for one day. I will just say, I love my markers :D I just wish they were not so much money or I would have more of them. I know this scratchy ink/marker style is not to everyones taste, but I like how simple it looks but also how colourful I can make it.

This month the country that is visited on the Virtual Paintout blog is Thailand. I ended up just doing a quick sketch of a temple and addded a bit of colour with my markers. I use my ink pens all the time, but really should use my markers more, they work really well, and add a nice touch of colour to a black and white sketch.

Another drawing for the Virtual Paintout . Quick ink drawing of Robin Hood Bay, love the name :) I love my ink pens, should probably use them more as I am very quick with them and don't focus so much on detail. I've been wanting to start doing ACEOs again, so started with something simple :p A Peacock feather on black paper. For Sale Drenched again due to these clouds... but at least there was a pretty rainbow after all the friggin rain :p

Virtual Sketch for April Copyright Jennifer Rose Phillip ACEO Coloured pencils and Neocolors Very quick one for this month :) This week has gone by so fast it isn't even funny. Neocolors for the background and Prismas for the flower. I might redo this at some date so that it is more then a half hour piece of work as it is a very nice photo. The photo was taken by Jeanette Jobson . Go have a look at the other participants this month here :) Picked up my portfolio today, wont know either way until the end of the month. But I seem to have forgotten my password so am going to have to phone UCAS Monday to get it figured out if I can't remember. So when I found out the blog post is either going to be titled Crap :( or Holy Crap! :p I wont post the pictures but I think these are so cool! :D Moulds of my teeth. I so want to make something out of them but need to keep them incase my bit for grinding my teeth gets wrecked. I could make copies somehow and work with those. Some people mi...

January Virtual Sketch Date Copyright Jennifer Rose Phillip ACEO coloured pencil on Canson Mi-Tientes This month on the virtual sketch date the reference picture has been provided by Jeanette Jobson . This was a quick little card to do. I completely forgot about this, so while I would have liked to maybe spend an extra few hours on it, I'm happy with the way it turned out. Didn't do a lot of detail. Just wanted to try to focus on the colours in the Clementine.

Virtual Sketch Date December Copyright Jennifer Rose Phillip This months VSD from a lovely photo taken by Stacey . I had intended on doing an ACEO of this, but this week has flown by. So its just a simple little sketch in my little sketchbook. I don't draw buildings that often lol and these crooked ones would fall down if they were real :p Good thing I'm not an architect or a builder :p Check out the VSD blog on Sunday to see everyone's efforts :D And join in next month if you can.

"Pears"Copyright Jennifer Rose Phillip ACEO done with Coloured Pencils The finished pears :) They are a little bit brighter in person. They look really dull on my monitor (or its my eyes :p) Go check out the rest of the art at the Virtual Sketch blog :) I enjoyed making this little piece of art. I don't draw pears enough. I took 3 progress scans so I will be writing up a small WIP to put on my newsletter (yes its another plug ;) ) And I got a Treasury over at Etsy. I have gotten a few treasury wests but don't think I got one on the main treasury page before. For someone who isn't a girly girl I picked a lot of pink things lol Click on the picture to go the treasury. Pink items from the members of the Crafting in Color Etsy Team . Follow the link if you want more info. If it is a nice enough day tomorrow I want to walk up the hill to see if I can get some nice photos of the hills in the distance. Of course if the weather is anything like today, I don't feel li...

"Pears" Copyright Jennifer Rose Phillip The start of an ACEO for the Virtual Sketch Date . Cropped the photo to focus on just 2 of the pears. I have scanned this in parts so I will post the WIP on my newsletter (sign up area to the right) and post the final here. (sorry about the fuzzy photo. Bad lighting) And now that I know that Pryex will take the heat I need to bake my Sculpey I can add another thing to my to do list :D I want to include some of my crystals with the model/sculpture and of course it will be a dragon. And big thank you to anyone who read the previous post :D

So I did a very very quick little art card for this months Virtual Sketch using Derwent Inktense pencils. Loose sketch with the pencils seen above and than wetted down. Looks more like a green and pink blob :p Hopefully next month I don't leave it until the last minute :/ Copyright Jennifer Rose Phillip

Copyright Jennifer Rose Phillip So this month there was another picture to draw for the Virtual Sketch Date . I managed to get some more time this time around to participate and thought the fruit would make a nice ACEO. This month the reference was supplied by Leslie and she has a really great tutorial on her blog so go check that out. Also go and look at all the other art that people have done this month. Links with all the art will be posted on Sunday. Enjoy all the different and wonderful art :D *edit* I really have to remember not to watch a movie that has any kind of military vehicle in it, 'cause Mr.Fuzzy talks over the actors trying to explain how the vehicle works :P Then again it was only "Reign of Fire" and I just want to look at the dragons and Gerard Butler so I don't need to hear what they are saying :p

My rose has started to bloom. It is a lot redder than it looks in the pictures. I am just shocked that it hasn't died lol hmmm maybe the curse of the black thumb of death is broken? (nah probably not considering John has been taking care of this most of the time ;) ) And I did get time today to draw a sketch for the virtual sketch . I wish I had have had more time to work on this, but been so busy cleaning up the flat. Just a quick simple sketch on plain sketchbook paper. I would have loved to use my Inktense pencil as the colours are so bright. I have dozens of pictures of these lilies so I can always use the pencils in the future. Go look at the other sketches that people have done :D The hedge that was in the backyard of the flat has been cut so that its less than a foot tall. We now have a lot of light getting into the kitchen. Just need to put up a simple fence now. The neighbours seems like nice people. So things are going well with that and the decorating is really starting ...
