Deliberate Sketching

Something about Cooking Together

They stood so closely as they chopped onions, their body language stating that they clearly were a team and were clearly delighted to be with each other. There was something about this young couple cooking together that got my heart.

At the time all I completed was a line sketch and then later tonight I added color. I surrounded then with dark colors to try and emphasize their togetherness, but I think I overdid the darks.

Katharine Hepburn: A Fashion Icon.

🎩💄💋💘HELLO SISTERS. IN MY OPINION A GOOD SKETCH IS A PERFECT DECOY FOR MOVIES.

Vintagenevieve

I’m back at it again with another blogathon. This time, it’s one which celebrates all things Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. The blogathon is hosted by In the Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood and it is taking place over the weekend of the 11^th-13^th. My contribution, however, is specifically looking at Katharine Hepburn and her fashionable looks on and off screen.

My interest in Katharine Hepburn’s costume choices in films and fashion in general came about during the writing of my dissertation. I was looking for another case study to contrast with my first which was Vivien Leigh. My advisor suggested Katharine Hepburn, as she is someone who is seen as the complete opposite of Leigh’s lady-like grace and glamour. In fact, the reason most people see Katharine Hepburn as a fashion icon because she seemed to not care about others opinions around what she…

Prada in Pencil

🙌 HELLO DARLINGS, YOU CAN ACHIEVE SOMETHING WONDERFUL. CLOTHES AND PENCILS ARE IN YOUR HANDS.

fashion illustrations by Alison

This is not a sad fishing post. I don’t say it’s a shit drawing just to get you lot to say “no, no it’s fab, your fab…“. It’s really about being honest and saying that not every drawing turns out how Iwant it. For every successful drawing there are dozens of fails or not quite rights. In this age of everything being ‘Insta-perfect’ I think that message sometimes get lost.

It’s February already and this is my first post for 2020!. It has been a hell of a start to the year in my part of Australia with fires, hail storms, and unbearably hot temperatures. As a result I haven’t been able to spend much time drawing but have, through much procrastinating on the lounge, discovered Domestika.

Domestika is “the largest creative community in Spanish”. They offer tonnes of online courses from some amazing Spanish speaking artists…

Paper World x

🏠 😉 HI SISTERS! HOME WALLS ARE SO SUITABLE FOR ART LIKE A MUSEUM.

Maison Bentley Style

A  little slice of heaven: I’ve found the most brilliant, thrilling, wallpaper site: Mind the gap. Like the jewels on a crown, or dew drops on a spider’s web, it’s a cornucopia of treasures..and from the most unusual source: Romania. All ideas of ever starting a wallpaper company have been banished, because if I did, this would be it..

(All pics Mind the Gap and Pinterest)

Price wise it’s £150 for three rolls, which means it’s a consistent splash…but not selling off organs silly.

Not that that would necessarily stop me….

Laters, Kate x

Play Like a Girl Watercolor Word Search Portraits 7.28.16

👤👥👤 ✏ ✒ WELL DEARS, HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO MAKE A QUICK PORTRAIT OF YOUR KNOWN PEOPLE?

Lorna Phone

Play Like a Girlis exactly what I needed, what I need.  A few months ago I started a series of live watercolor word search portraits at the first Play Like a Girl event.  People find three words in this giant word search I made and then write them down on my notepad.  I paint portraits of the people who found the words.  It’s really fun!

Every time I’ve come home from a show after arting with PLAG, I’m so excited about what I will do next, so inspired.  It’s really crazy how amazing it feels to be a part of an event run by women, featuring women. [Check out this LA Times interview with PLAG co-founder Kimi Recor!]  There’s a striking contrast between how this show makes me feel, and how general interactions, IRL/digital/media, make me feel.  Huh, not like I’m made to feel a certain way…like I’m puddy, taking…
