I went here today....Dunraven Bay in Wales. Living almost in the centre of England I am the furthest away from a beach I have ever been, but the sea was calling to me, so I packed a picnic, some art materials, my beach togs, and set off early.... arrived back late... tired but happy.

I got a bit snappy happy with all the beachy textures, love the rock formations there and the muted tones...colour palette inspo! #dunravenbay

I'm making background textures for a drawing expedition. I find it easier to use textured bases as a starting point for my drawings - less scary than a blank page and I can delve into the texture and pull the picture out. I quite like them as they are....! #painting #artistsprocess #sarahpapworthdesign . #100dayproject

I've been painting this over the past few days. Just woke up with the urge to paint flowers :) #100dayproject #100daysofdelvingdeep #sarahpapworthdesign #lillarogers #lillarogersstudio

Hello friends, here’s a few of the other photos that were taken by @irina.silviu for April’s @aandimagazine 10 minute feature. It was a really fun morning, and so lovely to meet the photographers. We moved a few bits of furniture around for the photos, and I really liked the sofa in front of the fireplace- might have to move it back there permanently! .
.
We live in a small terraced old farm workers cottage, which I think is one of the tiniest places I’ve lived, but I really love it here, even though I often dream of having a bigger studio space to really spread out. I paint in the kitchen, and sometimes draw while sitting on the sofa if I feel like having a slow day. The office is upstairs in a spare room, and it also holds all my arty crafty stuff... another reason why a studio would be amazing, I could claim the room back as a spare room! But really I’m very grateful for this little house. 🧡

Day 8 of the #100dayproject I'm combining some #matsbootcamp2019 coursework with the 100 day project. It's so lovely to do a bit of experimenting everyday #100daysofdelvingdeep . .

Here I'm just trying some collage to go with some Japanese Tea cups I created for the mini warm up to this month's assignment.

I was so excited to see photos of these cool stools with my illustrations on from the I KNOW A WOMAN book from the @bolognachildrensbookfair .
Kindly spotted by @bonbonoiseau and I then got these pics from the publisher. Quite a fun way to showcase art! And the book is in the background too 😊

Days 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the #100dayproject - hello peeps, I'm enjoying this project so much! It's a massive relief to not feel like I need to post every day, and this update is enjoyable for me as I can have a reminder of what I've looked at this week. And I've just been doing little bits here and there everyday.
.
This sketchbook is a very old one....but it was chunky and sturdy, so instead of chucking it I decided to rip out all the old work (had a bit of a manic moment a few months ago chucking loads of stuff), and l just painted over the pages, where needed, with white acrylic. The effect is satisfying because where I couldn't quite get all the paper up, I've painted around patches of old work and they are becoming part of these new musings and pieces. Also it means I'm not fussy about what I put on the pages as they feel rough and editable...more than my moleskine....and I love to draw on the painted texture.
.
All of these pics from my sketchbook are WIP ....just feeling my way into it. I discovered @emily_jeffords podcast this week, which has already inspired some of my mind map doodles....and it has gone so well with what I'm delving into, you'd think the universe is trying to tell me something...💛😊✨ #100daysofdelvingdeep .

1/100 #100dayproject went to my (kind of) local art store in Stow-on-the-Wold to pick up some supplies - some needed and some not so needed, and painted out an old sketchbook in white to use. Very fun first day! #100daysofdelvingdeep @cotswoldartsupplies #stowonthewold #cotswoldlife #artlifestyle
