Just thought I’d post an update chaps, because its a good one. I posted a few of Mrs Binners scribbles up but its kind of escalated, to say the least. She was drawing animals in watercolour pencils with Rotring pen outlines. A few people saw them and asked if she could draw their pets for them, then other people saw those and and asked if she could draw their pets for them, and so on and on…..
She’s really developed a style of her own and is absolutely loving it. My fragile ego is just about coping with now being the least talented and least in demand artist in our house. Just…. honest.
@redthunder – I love that. I’ve just asked Mrs Binners (or dead pet woman as she’s now known) how much she’s charging for her pictures, and she said it depends what you want… what size, what image and if you want it framing etc. If you message me I’ll get her to give you a shout
I just showed her those prices and she exclaimed ‘Bless my soul!!!’ or words to that effect. She’s charging nowhere near that! A4 – A3 is going for about 40 quid unframed, or 60 framed
As another update to the effect of this thread, my scouse football-watching bessie, Maxime, who hasn’t put pen to paper for 20+ years has also started drawing again recently -because we all have and it’s getting competitive! 😀 She’s getting a bit good. As a rabid Liverpool fan (and yet somehow still a very good mate of mine) she’s been drawing pictures of them lot at the other end of the M62
