#inktober 25: Trunk, from prompts over at the @lisacongdon class on @creativebug and Prickly from @Inktober ... a cactus tree trunk! Perfect interpretation, right? 😊 This one was done in a bit of a hurry I’m afraid, and photographed at night (well late afternoon but it’s already dark!) so the lighting isn’t the greatest, but I’m still enjoying getting them done! . Drawn in my @pinkpigsketchbooks using @winsorandnewton inks, @escoda_brushes and a @staedtleruk fineliner pen (yes I know I forgot to include it in the photo again sigh) for the writing. . . #floatinglemonsart #floatinglemons #floatinglemonsinktober #inktober2018 #pinktober18 #pinkpigsketchbooks #dailyartchallenge #dailyart #winsorandnewton #escodabrushes #staedtler #cactusart #illustration #illustrationnow https://www.instagram.com/p/BpcdbZFnrFk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=alaufvp0tf1r

Floating Lemons 🍋 and Sinking Limes?! We all know that scientists seem to be mildly infatuated with objects that float and sink. Well, the Three Beans are clearly going to be brilliant scientists one day because they just love chucking stuff in water and seeing what happens! 😂 We had some lemons and limes in the house and, after we did the density experiment with the orange last week and discovered that it floats with the skin on and sinks with the skin off, they saw the lemons and limes and ‘hypothesised’ that they looked similar and so would do the same...so, obviously, we had to try this out! Well, would you believe, that isn’t actually the case at all?! Actually, as it happens, lemons always float and limes always sink. Who knew?🤷🏻‍♀️ First, we put them in the water with their skins on. The lime, immediately sunk down to the bottom and the lemon bobbed around on the top. We weighed the lemon and lime to show that this is the case, even though our lime was smaller and weighed less than the lemon. We peeled them both. The kids examined the lemon and lime more closely...Since the lemon skin did seem to be thicker and coarser and a little more like the orange skin than the lime, they thought this might work in the same way and trap air to make the lemon float when it was on, but it would still sink when we peeled it? Maybe the skin just wasn’t thick enough on a lime? But, once peeled, the lemon STILL floated and the lime still sank? We also sliced them and, even then, the sliced lemon floated but the sliced lime sank?! Crazy! We tried different lemons and different limes...all of the limes sank. We found one lemon that sort of only half floated once it was peeled...it sat mid-way down in our beaker of water, but, it was still more buoyant than the limes and refused to drop to the bottom completely. Obviously, this experiment shows that an object’s ability to sink or float is all to do with density, rather than weight or size. A lime is denser than a lemon...no matter which way you slice it! 😂 And, it is also denser than water, even with its skin on! #threebeansplaytime #3beansplaytime #floatinglemons #sinkinglimes #densityexperiment #funlearningathome https://www.instagram.com/p/CCCRckUHvGx/?igshid=mpjjgaj1xrhd

Something different again, experimenting with fruit and after seeing many examples of ‘floating fruit’ I thought I’d give it a go. Think the lemon looks rather good #studio4lytham #floatingfruit #floatinglemon #lemon #citrus #fruit #floatingfruitphotography #floatingphotography #fiveaday #lemons #juice #slices #slice #sliced #pip #pips #sour #bitter #bitterlemon #wood #beech #floatingobjectphotography #floatingobjects #floatingobject #citrusfruit #fresh #freshlemon (at Studio 4 Lytham) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ytFJgleMJ/?igshid=dkkua4l52r16

A study in grey ... different shades of it. I think it managed to retain a cheerful feel despite the slightly somber colouring? Painted in my @stillmanandbirn beta premium sketchbook using @schmincke_official and @winsorandnewton watercolours using @escoda_brushes 😊 26/100 . #the100dayproject #the100dayproject2018 #100daysfloatinglemons #100daysofart #100daysofpainting #monochromewatercolor #watercolour #sketchbookart #sketchbook #floatinglemons #stillmanandbirnbeta #schminckewatercolor #winsorandnewton #escodabrushes

I love the way this turned out, the translucency of the layers gives it a magical feel ... I shall have to attempt it again one day in a larger size!

I’m finished with my May pages but haven’t the time to take proper photos so here’s the May cover spread for the moment and hopefully I’ll get the rest up tomorrow! I’ve smeared the paint on one of the bees but I’m finding beauty in imperfections and mistakes so I’ll leave it as it is! 20/100 Using a @leuchtturm1917 master A4 (love the freedom of the large size!) and @schmincke_official watercolours . #the100dayproject #the100dayproject2018 #floatinglemons #maybujospread #bujo #bulletjournal #bujolove #stationeryaddict #planneraddict #bulletjournal2018 #bujocommunity #watercolour #leaves #leuchtturm1917 #schminckewatercolor

I started experimenting with a bullet journal a couple of months ago and I love it! To my surprise I’m using it daily and it’s making me more productive and motivating my creativity. Decided to try watercolour in it this month and it works! So here’s my monthly spread for May and I’ll be blogging about it and posting the rest of the May pages soon ... what do you think? I’m counting this as a daily painting too ... 18/100 Using a gorgeous master A4 @leuchtturm1917 and @schmincke_official watercolours . #bulletjournal #bujomonthly #bujo #bujomay2018 #floatinglemons #the100dayproject #the100dayproject2018 #leuchtturm1917 #schminckewatercolor #bees #bujolove #bujoart #simplyimperfect #simplyimperfectart #stationeryaddict @les_yeux_malaisienne 😊

I drew this coloured pencil illustration of a maple leaf in the autumn of 2007! It's taken that long to finally create a pattern from it that I've posted onto the lovely items over at Red Bubble, here's the scarf: http://bit.ly/FLmapleleafscarf . #mapleleaf #floatinglemons #illustration #coloredpencil #coloredpencils #botanicalart #autumnleaves #fallleaves #scarf #redbubble #floatinglemonstreats
