Was lovely painting at Grace & Flavour allotments today, with my friends at Surrey Hills Plein Air Painters. There was so much to choose from and so many colours we were spoilt for choice.
As it’s autumn I eventually plumped for the view of the bright orange pumpkin bed. Today I was particularly slow and so here is my WIP, another to add to the pile 😂. Hopefully I’ll get to finish some off during the winter months on days it’s too cold or wet to get out 👩🏻‍🎨🙂🎃

Back at life drawing! Started for the first time early last year, but then my ankle accident last October stopped everything.
This was my second life drawing visit this year and I’m enjoying the experience of drawing live and to time limits. It’s definitely improving.
The one before last was my final drawing and the rest are by my fellow sketchers.
I try to keep away from erasing in an attempt to loosen up.
If you haven’t tried it yourself don’t be afraid to give it a go. A lovely group to be part of. 🙂👩🏻‍🎨✍🏻. Thanks Agathe for organising 🙂

During the last few days I’ve been finishing off an online tutorial which I’ve really enjoyed participating in, after all you never stop learning new things - Roses are one of my favourite flowers, especially the old fashioned highly scented kind 😀. Hope you like my painting. I’ve added the finished painting along with progress photos, showing the various stages, which I always think is interesting to see 😀
I now feel reenergised and ready to continue working on the other important projects I still have bubbling away. Watch this space!

Katie Jobling Art thank you 😀👩🏻‍🎨

A little different, my creations today have been Blueberry & Mint Cupcakes and apparently they went down a storm at the fair. Great to make people happy!
Now back to my easel to get on with my painting 😀👩🏼‍🍳👩🏻‍🎨🎨

This weekend we had our beautiful Grand-Doggie, Nala the Pom, come to stay with us. We had so much fun with lots of huggles and some lovely walks thrown in. Yes, me walking and down to one crutch now (yayyyy, getting there slowly 😀).
Missing you already and can’t wait for the next time.
You’ll become an artist model at some point! Just so cute

My completed painting from our en plein air painting day with Surrey Hills Plein Air Painters group on Friday. A very enjoyable day 😀. So many wonderful areas to inspire at Wisley Gardens.
