Here are Jackie’s sketches from the 13th to the 18th. All took between 30 to 60 minutes in the square format that she is enjoying creating in. Clever interpretations of the suggested words.
Jackie’s Inktober sketches
Susan’s third week of Inktober
Susan’s sketches in her 12cm x 12cm sketchbook are of wildlife found in the British Isles. Great attention to detail on all the animals
Tracy’s 3rd week of Inktober
Tracy can’t believe another week of Inktober has passed by. Another 7 prompts, all thought about and sketched quickly in the little shapes. Thank you to Brenda for the rose hip suggestion for one of the ‘hips’ for the 15th!
Dot’s third week of Inktober
Dot is enjoying Inktober and often gets a day ahead of the words. A good choice of subjects here.
If you have arachnophobia, please look away now!
Jackie’s second week of Inktober
Jackie is embracing the Inktober challenge by using values and lines and not being sidetracked by colour. Each image has taken between 30 to 60 minutes. Great interpretation of all the words!
Tracy’s second week of Inktober
Tracy found the second week of Inktober easier than the first because once you start thinking of images to draw in 10 minutes, your brain starts thinking quicker. Pictures drawn again using the Bic 4 coloured ballpoint pen.
Susan’s second week of Inktober
Susan has continued sketching British animals in ink in her 12cm x 12cm sketchbook. Lots of details to see on the images.
Paint on a pumpkin – October 2026 – Wednesday
Fourteen members met for an evening painting on pumpkins. Most artists used acrylic paint, one painted the pumpkin then added Virginia creeper leaves and one artist forget her acrylic paints so used watercolours, which surprising worked quite well. It was a very relaxed session and we all enjoyed painting on a different surface which was curved.
We often bemoan that our Wednesday evening sessions are poorly lit with the uplighters so we take our own little lamps. At this session it was good to see that spotlights have been fitted below the uplighters on the high window wall and they really brightened up the session, hurrah!
Many subjects were painted on the pumpkins with Hallowe’en being the most popular, but there were animals, flowers and Zentangle patterns too. Some painted three images on one pumpkin so the photos show all sides.
Well done, everyone, it was an interesting and fun evening.
The next session is on Saturday 24th October from 10am to 3pm. Please note that this will be the fourth Saturday of October, not the last one.
Dot’s second week of Inktober
Dot is enjoying seeing all the pictures by members with different interpretations of each word. Here are her drawings for the second week of Inktober. Very detailed images, keep up the good work!
Inktober second week by Jane
Here are Jane’s pictures for the second week of Inktober. She enjoyed sketching every day and switching off from everything else. Good interpretation of the words!
