Starting with this brown ochre, cos I was talking about PBr7 y'day + I haven't tried thissun yet. Also making binder ont fly, since I'm trying out gum arabic from a new supplier. If you've been following a while: this ochre is from when a pal said 'u gotta go to my daughter's place & see her mud'…

…or beach brick, coal, clay, etc. Most of these don't make it into my shop, cos I only have small amounts (my shale mud being the notable exception.) But given I've raised a good amount of £s for AKT & Medical Aid for Palestinians with small paint sets? Let's see if I can do the same for RNLI…

treat your body like a data center. consume as much water, art and literature as possible. upset local municipalities with your existence.

It's very satisfying to mull too, just made a big batch so I can put some in my shop at some point!

Ahh I do like a good Payne's grey!

Fair point! 😂 Ochres are never only one thing. Most I use pigment that I made from a friend's clay (they have iron-rich soil where they live.) Also Jackson's sell a brown ochre pigment (it's french I think) that I really like.

I have no idea how to explain it, but it always seems to be the right brown. Like for dried leaves, bugs, twigs nests, toning down reds, making green a bit more olive-y... I mean it could just be me, but it seems to fit everything? 🤷 Siena is often a lil too red-orange, & umbers too much t'other way

Yet somehow I don't see that much of it around the place. And also for some batshit reason I've never put mine in my shop, so I should change that ASAP 🤦

I mean sienas and umbers are good too, obvs. But I think I use brown ochre way more often.

Brown ochre PBr7 is an underrated pigment, fight me.

I mean... I keep saying I don't need more pigments, but here we are 🤷 😂

Anyone know any support groups for folks who have friends / family detained by ICE in WA area? — I’m familiar with all of the socal groups since all of my family is there, but we need some WA resources

Aww thanks! I wish I had more time to work on this every day, it's such a joy to get to draw all the fiddly stuff 😁

Thirdlyly, cos life keeps getting in the bloody way, I didn't get to the drawing board much this week. & I'm anxious. I need to practice so I don't fuck the big drawing up 😬 So I picked up an old sketch from when I 1st had this fade/cut-out idea, but never had time to finish. Practicing my deets…

Ok so firstly I realised I forgot to put the last pics of the shading here, even tho that is what this thread is for 🤦. Secondly, we have entered detail territory. Which is both exciting and also fucking terrifying... Because that's how art works I guess! 🤷 😂...

Thanks this makes me very happy!
