Mixed Media Artist Sue Young

Yours truly at the easel all day today!

More teeny collages underway, I am really enjoying these. I love the interest that layers create and stories that they tell ....

I have been struggling with this painting for a little while now, but I think we are almost there! She is wild and expressive, a little bruised by life, but far from beaten....

Working on a bunch of new card designs today, based over these cute mini collages, lots and lots of lush layers!

Experimenting with feather inspired printmaking today for an exhibition later this year.

Spilled paint...and could see a face, so I had to work into it a little and find out who was hiding in there!

Some lovely juicy layers in this little intuitive painting. I created the substrate myself from fabric and plaster, primed with gesso, it’s fabulous to work on such rich texture!

Pencil drawing practice in my sketchbook. I really enjoyed this cat study-have a feeling there may be some more kitties appearing this month, I forgot how much loved to draw them!

I try to make a habit of drawing daily if possible,this was a 20 minute practice in my sketchbook using graphite and charcoal...it’s low quality paper for rougher work, so the blending isn’t as smooth as I would perhaps like, but it’s also good to work on the cheaper paper as it can be quite freeing to not worry that you have to complete a perfect piece of art. Daily practice is definitely something which has improved both my skills and certainly my wellbeing !

Lots of new spring colours in these waterfall necklaces-I am surrounded by tiny fabric flowers and button collections this week!

Like me this beauty is a night owl! Mixed media on deep block canvas -this piece is sold, but there is a bird theme coming through this year which is making me very excited-watch this space!
