Thank you so much

That’s really beautiful .
I’m the same I’m all in buy all the gear get obsessed for a few years then try something else .

Threeoffour. @beckitoo.bsky.social · 18h

Absolutely. Frustrating, fiddly and swear inducing

Threeoffour. @beckitoo.bsky.social · 18h

I started drawing in lockdown after 30 years of doing no art at all.
Practice and complete obsession is needed. I'm never happy. I love using watercolours, I think you have to try different things to push yourself but also to discover what suits you. And don't follow rules...find your own way

Thank you. I'm constantly pushing to be better. I was really pleased with this... But it was frustrating at times

Thank you . I'm obsessed with realism. Sometimes I get it right, sometimes not. Thanks for following.

Thank you

Wow, thank you❤️. I'm obsessed with realism. I usually use coloured pencil on top, but this is pure pastel and pastel pencil. It was extremely fiddly/frustrating

A mandatory duck in pastels I did a few weeks ago. I'm really pleased with my progress in pastels. Practice practice practice.

A self portrait I'm working on, (although probably wont do much more) with my beloved and much missed #bullterrier Nansi.

Sketch in coloured pencil of longhaired women with hair tied up with her face half covered, cuddling a pure white english bull terrier dog. The dog is looking directly out of the picture at the viewer . You can only see the dogs head. It is partially coloured.

A little mallard #duck done in #pastels on #pastelmat .
23x33cm.
I'm starting to be a bit more confident in pastels. But still out of my comfort zone.

I don’t play and experiment enough. So I have. Seeing what works in a new paper.
Decided I hate paper as it has a brick like texture
But continued to see how far I could push it.
Refuses to take any more abuse. So guess I’m done.

Cheers. It was one of the first portraits I drew. I surprised myself how well it came out.
I should re do him.

remember when Trent Reznor recorded a concept album in 2007 about a dystopian America becoming a christo-fascist country where art is a crime and everyone is under cyber surveillance, and people thought he was a bit dramatic?? good times.

I cried too, it was amazing

Threeoffour. @beckitoo.bsky.social · Jun 21

4 days later and I'm still overwhelmed. #NineInchNails in Manchester. #Treznor is a genius. I wept during the first song, just him and a piano. I sobbed when it finished, I didn't want it to end. No other music or gig has ever hit me so hard. Overwhelmed
