Simple Pleasures

Dina Wakley has started
A Year of Gratitude
with a new prompt each month.

The first prompt is
Simple Pleasures.


The simplest of pleasures is time just spent in my studio.

Mixing paints.

Tracing shapes.

Cutting paper.

Finding just the right words to use.

The words are cut out from that old edition
of Pride & Prejudice that I always use.
I love flicking through those pages.

Doodling.

I used Dina Wakley Media acrylic paints,
Lapis, Lemon & Ruby,
mixed with white gesso
applied to an old typing manual,
a Dina Wakley Media Stencil
(Cellular),
& a Fude Ball pen.

I am working in a small Black Cloth Hardback Sketchbook
by Seawhite of Brighton.

The paper is 140gsm.
