I have quite a number of sketch books that need filling. I bought a pack of 10 from Hobbycraft a few months ago and I might give the ones that I've not drawn in yet a theme/subject. I hope to do some art throughout December, as I've not been doing a lot since I started doing the course - not had time, really, and there is a lot that I'd like to do.

I felt quite bad about my deviant art account a few days ago, but looked at it today and found that people have been liking some of my pieces. Not many, but it is nice... After next week, I shall some free time because the course I am currently doing will have ended.

I take the dog out for a walk every day and one day I can't take him because I don't feel up to it, a fuss is made.
I do like the colours, though, but I can see that I need more practice with these.
It is apparent that when I paint with watercolours, I need guidelines to know where the paint should go... Perhaps I can fix it when it's dried with a bit of smudge-proof fine-liner.
Why is it these days you must argue with companies when they have not fulfilled their obligations to you to get the service that you are due? Last year it happened with a gardening company, this year it has happened multiple times with a catalogue company, it has happened with two different magazine titles and now a subscription box company. A number of years ago, I got ripped off by a clothing company which never

At long last, you can finally post to Instagram from a normal browser. It took them long enough to create that facility.
