Here's my creation for DAY 1 - Fall, I decided to do a bit of stamping with some of my hand-carved stamps, using the colours of fall/autumn.

Day 3 - Theme was colour, I challenged myself to go outside and sketch, this time with some markers in autumnal shades! It was interesting!

Day 4 - Theme was hay, found this theme a bit tricky! Went for a quick hay bale in the landscape sketch, watercolour wash, with some coloured pencil and black pen.

Day 5 - Theme was feast. There's an icecream called 'Feast' here in Ireland and the UK, that's what popped into my head, so I went with it! Sketched it in black pen first then decided to add some colour with brush markers.

Day 9 - Seasons, I went with the season of Autumn. I've been wanting to experiment with painting with coffee for ages and I thought the theme would work well. I did a study of leaves, seed heads and branches. I love the tones the coffee creates. I used three different strengths of coffee.

Day 10 - Chill, I went with something a little more abstract, I was inspired by frost crystals! Played with a wet-on-wet technique and some salt. Once the background was dry I went back in with some white acrylic paint to add the frosty crystals. Here's a closer look.
