Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 20/02/2026Preliminary A4 study of a mountain peak via Nina Volk. Hoping to do a larger one this weekend. 020 2
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Well he's looking for something in particular, not sure he could name it, but he knows what it looks like ... not long before I took this pic I'd put all the toys back in the toy tubs. 120 2
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 03/02/2026I hate chemical cleaners & generally use Koh or ENJO. Lately I bought some Koala cloths & thought I'd give them a try. I wiped the dishwasher with a damp wettex & dried it with a Koala cloth - pretty happy with that for a quick one minute job. 010 1

Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 04/01/2026This Packer? With Packer, Newman & Hackett it's like Thugs United. 162 6
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 02/01/2026I seem to have exhausted everything I want to watch on the streaming services, so I dug around in the DVD cupboard (remember DVDs) and found this from 1983, still in its cellophane wrapper - loved it, love the soundtrack. 010 1
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 25/12/2025It was the same year my sister tried to make snow globe cup cakes from the Coles Xmas magazine, where you coat inflated balloons with gelatine to create the domes - sadly the balloons deflated & hers looked like used prophylactics. It was the most hilarious Christmas. 2212 21
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 25/12/2025At Christmas I like to remember my late mother's first ever Christmas pavlova. She bought a triple layer base from Coles, added whipped cream and fruit between the layers & proudly placed it on the table. She didn't realise she had to remove the cardboard between the layers 🤣 2161 16
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 24/09/2025Just noticed I hadn't posted anything for ages - still painting, but about to go on a sewing bender, I have an urge to make a reversible Japanese cross-back apron for some reason 🤷♀️ I couldn't find a pattern so I drew & cut one with the help of an oval platter, a round platter & side plate. 040 4
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 31/12/2024I seem to have an obsession with this black kitten - two weekends in a row and I’m not even a cat person. 000 0
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 29/11/2024I think it's time I showed you all my dog poo pick-up bags. 4103 10

Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Is there a way to restrict who can message you on bsky? I've no idea who this person is. 200 2
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 20/11/202439 and up Bluesy - drop a pic with your age. 70. 040 4
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Oh my 😬, Nina Volk has posted this 'beginner' watercolour tutorial on her Patreon. It looks quite 'advanced' to me, anyway wish me luck. My idea of beginner is painting a stick figure. 000 0
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Oh, look at that, I managed to make an apple 🍎 on my coffee this morning. 141 4
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Still going. We're now somewhere in the second yellow/red storm band 🙁 130 3
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 15/11/2024You can have this Pug, I just have to work out how to get it to you. I don’t go into shops like post offices etc since I’m severely immune suppressed & Covid is still happening. 120 2
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 15/11/2024During the month of October I did a watercolour challenge set by Paint Wild Academy to paint a different dog everyday in 15 minutes. This is some of them. 5102 10
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 10/11/2024Beautiful. Reminds me of one I took, possibly 20 years ago 070 7
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 09/11/2024I slept in, good morning from me and my surprise house guest. 240 4
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 09/11/2024My fingers were quite swollen in the early days pre biologics, it was all the inflammation, but they're back to normal (except for the tendons) now. Oh, the little finger has always been crooked, not sure if I broke it as a baby or if I was born with it like that. 230 3
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 12/01/2024I had a touch of insomnia last night so I tried a monochrome study of a horse. Not 100% happy with it, so I’ll probably try again before attempting the next Nina Volk tutorial. 000 0
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 06/01/2024A rainy day in some city or other. Via a Nina Volk tutorial. 010 1
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 04/01/2024I tried another Nina Volk tutorial today, Sunset on the River Seine. 152 5
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 11/12/2023I sketched it again with cheese on the plate in place of the apple slices. Not sure what type of cheese, I've never painted cheese before. 010 1
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 10/12/2023Recent Karen Rice watercolour tutorial was a still life, we haven’t done many of these but I absolutely loved doing it. 3132 13
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 23/11/2023This one is a Karen Rice tutorial using just one colour for everything, with a few red highlights at the end. 020 2
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 05/11/2023Aside from WTF is he doing there, the other big Q is, WTaF is he wearing and why? 882 8
Denise C. @spudbenbean.bsky.social · 20/10/2023I was this many years old when I drew a mermaid on my grandmother's white linen table cloth with my grandfather's fountain pen. Any artistic endeavours were strongly discouraged by the family after that - perhaps because I also scratched one on their wardrobe door with a hair pin. 0101 10
