Pat’s 10p Bingo!

We’ve Got it on the Golden Mile

I love how blocks of buildings can be so different in Blackpool, all built at different times to different specifications, and some going through a variety of transformations over the years. They don’t fit but that’s what adds to the charm for me. If everything was the same it would just be a massive boring block of Meh.

Playing with the Digital

ByJoseph Travis

Playing with the Digital drawing on an iPad

 

Recently I have been playing with drawing digitally for some projects that I have in the back of my mind.

I have so many ideas that I want to put out there but I have to focus.so drawing digitally is one of the things I do in the evening in front of the television with my wife.

I have to admit it feels very different to drawing on paper and painting with watercolours so I have a long way to go to find my ideal workflow in the medium. Even with an apple pencil there is a big disconnect.

Hartley’s Blackcurrant Jelly

ByJoseph Travis

Hartley’s Blackcurrant Jelly

Purple is a good colour

I love blackcurrants and for the past 14 years or so I have had blackcurrant bushes in my garden where ever I have lived. Even here in Fleetwood where we have a yard, I still have a small patch of earth that has a blackcurrant bush in it. All my blackcurrant bushes actually come from the bushes used to make Ribena, as years ago they did a give away, if you sent them labels off their bottles they would send cuttings. So I did and they did, and each time i moved I took cuttings off those plants and took them with me.

Even my grandad has blackcurrant bushes in his garden which were cuttings of my plants, especially when we moved house the last time from having a garden and not being able to produce the same volume as my grandad said they were the best tasting blackcurrants he had tasted we wanted to make sure he had some.

Blackcurrants are my favourite

  • I love the semi transparent nature of the jelly casting colour in the shadow
  • Blackcurrant is a very English flavour
  • I love this painting

Mr Kipling’s Bakewell Tarts

ByJoseph Travis

Mr Kipling’s Bakewell Tarts

Deliciously Good Cakes.. errr tarts

Painting still life is an accessible way to start learning how to paint, I tend towards packaging as it is something that comes and goes through the house, on swatches of different coloured fabrics to just add some interest to what the object is sat on.

There is a lot to consider on a packet from colours, to type and logos and so on. I’m not looking at painting with realism though, I just want it to be fast and fluid and describe a level of energy to my painting.

 

Nothing like a sweet treat

  • they are delicious
  • The box is bright and colourful
  • I want to get back to painting in acrylic too
  • If you are interested in purchasing please contact me

How to Develop that Drawing Habit

ByJoseph Travis

How to Develop that Drawing Habit

Or any good habit to be honest

I have been drawing now for self improvement for the last decade and a half. I dabbled with drawing as a teenager, as most do. I even dreamed of working on Star Wars up at Lucas Film. The only issue was I was put off by the very formal way of learning at High School, for example this happened in art class:

“this week we are doing cubism… No Joseph you are doing cubism wrong!”  ~My Art Teacher

So that was the end of that, I went off to college I did sciences and mathematics and nothing creative in sight. I did well at College and got into a top university, studied hard but kept feeling unfulfilled. I was bored out of my mind so one day when I was supposed to be heading to the lab, I packed a bag with my essentials, got on a train and left that town and travelled back to my home town.
