Day 1 of #28DrawingsLater and I’m reflecting on a theme within my practice that is the mundane, the everyday, the domestic. This is a darning mushroom I recently bought to help with mendings. It’s also a lovely object. #28DL19 #28DL #totwit
Donna Nicholson Arnott:
Day 2 of #28DrawingsLater and we built the compost bins up at the plot today, yay! This blue strike hammer really helped get the job done. 😊 #28DL #28DL19 #totwit

Day 3 of #28DrawingsLater and today I’ve drawn the ceramic hot water bottle (or pig). #28DL #28DL19 #totwit

Day 4 of #28DrawingsLater and I’m thinking again about painting the wee clay bear I made last year. I’d like to do it in the spirit of those doll customisations on YouTube; like the bear is dreaming of snowy forests at dusk. #planan ##wip #28DL #28DL19 #t

Day 5 of #28DrawingsLater and I’ve been at work all day. This was a quick scratchy sketch out the tea room window at the end of my food break. It’s a lovely view. #28DL #28DL19 #totwit

Day 8 of #28DrawingsLater. Pinks: Been reading about Derek Jarman’s garden; he enjoyed growing Mrs Sinkins. I’d been chatting to G about these, and their propagation, and he surprised me with a lovely bunch of bright magenta pinks. ❤️ #28DL #28DL19

Day 9 of #28DrawingsLater. Today I went along to @KinningParkComp to learn about the Japanese dying technique of Shibori. Being a newbie with no rubber gloves, my fingers got a bit blue when I finished rinsing my T-shirt at home. 😮 #28DL #28DL1

Day 12 of #28DrawingsLater and arg, I had three goes at different drawings today. Tried on the way to work/during my break/and this one was on the way home. It’s the best, so here it is! I love drawing on trains. 😊 #28DL #28DL19 #totwit

Day 14 of #28DrawingsLater. Busy day, and this is a quick continuous line drawing of the vintage #ercol #evergreen easy chair I got last year. I totally love it, it’s a gloriously well put together object, and very comfortable. 😊 #28DL #28DL19 #tot
Donna Nicholson Arnott:
Day 15 of #28DrawingsLater and I took off my specs to do another selfie (sans glasses, naked face) but I didn’t like the end result. So I strained my eyes a little longer and drew the spectacles instead. No, I couldn’t see very well. #28DL #28DL19 #totwi
Donna Nicholson Arnott:
Day 16 of #28DrawingsLater and I forgot to seal up a bag of compost yesterday at the plot: so back I went. Also got down on my kneeling mat and drew the Prince Claus crocuses. Bit of a flat drawing, but it’s my 1st ever crocus sketch! #28DL #28DL19 #totwi
Donna Nicholson Arnott:
