Great to get to life drawing last night with @dublindrawing. It just wasn’t the same over Zoom 😜 I experimented with a bit of colour and chalks with these ones, the last pics are from the first session 3 weeks ago and after two years I was definitely rusty. I kept running out of time with the drawings! Just goes to show how important it is to keep drawing 😊 #lifedrawing #dublindrawing #lifemodel #charcoaldrawing #figuredrawing #drawnfromlife #sketching #sketchdaily #portrait #drawings #lifemodelling

Muirdeach’s Cross Monasterboice. Such an impressive Cross, that you need to see it in real life to appreciate it’s dominance in the graveyard where it stands. High crosses were carved to tell stories from the bible in a time where most people were illiterate. This cross dates from the 9th or 10th century. #highcross #monasterboice #bible #irishcatholic #irishart #pencilsketch #louthtourism #drogheda #dunleer #ardee #louthart #outsidedrawing

Was just finished this box when I took a picture so excuse the paint covered hand 😜 Next step is to spray a varnish on it and then it’s ready for @cottagemarketdrogheda this Saturday 🤗 Each decorated box is unique and every time, something new to try!

MEET THE MAKER:
Jolene’s Drawings

An introduction ☺️ My name is Jolene and I’m from Louth, Ireland. I’ve had a love for drawing from a young age and did an art PLC course with the intention of being an art teacher but I ended up becoming a graphic designer! I graduated four years later and have been working as a designer ever since. A few years back I got tempted back into the art world and have been drawing ever since 😊

The work I post on my page is a mixture of art, design and craft.

All work original. As a creative, I love creating and exploring and if you happen to be in Drogheda this weekend I will be at the Cottage Market so come up and say hi 🤗 #crafter #drogheda #cottagemarket #drogheda #droghedadesigner #irishart #irishcraft #irishcrafts #madeinireland #irishgift #irishmade #handmade #handmadeirish #irishhandmade #irishdesigner

Excited to say I will be trading at this Saturday’s Cottage Market in Drogheda! I will have some new bits with me including this decorated box that I completed recently.

I hand-make and design every item on my Etsy and craft market stands and all my designed cards are printed locally here in Drogheda!

Handmade Drogheda wooden coasters. I make these from prints of my paintings. They take about a week from start to finish to create; sanding, scrubbing, varnishing and varnishing again 😆

If you would like a set in time for Mother’s Day please DM me ☺️💕 #mothersday #drogheda #drawdacoasters #mam #mamgift #mothersdaygift #mammy #irishhandmade #irishgift #irishhandmadegifts #irishart #louthart #louthcraft

Came in from his walk, hoped on the chair and found a load of blankets to snuggle into. Oscar sure likes his comforts 🐾

Thanks to everyone that bought a Gleesons print from me. I can officially say that they are now SOLD OUT!

I also only have one Millmount left (day). If this is a print you want let me know as when it’s gone it’s gone!

I get small print runs done of each picture to retain a “limited edition” aspect to them. I will be painting more pubs soon so stay tuned!

I was told to never use a ruler when drawing. This is why I use a ruler when I draw 😆 The obelisk bridge does NOT have an arch 😜🥴

Experimenting is always part of the process. I made this box from scratch and learnt a few new ideas and techniques to try for future projects.

I used cardboard, paper mache, air dry clay, wood glue, paint and varnish.

Monasterboice, Co. Louth. The smaller of the high crosses at this historic graveyard! The Cross is impressive and definitely worth a visit. I painted this on site and all went well til it started getting dark 😱
