Day 3 of @eondineart 's #naturemythmarch ! Today's theme is Dragon/Snake. I decided to draw a Knucker, this is a water dragon primarily from the county of Sussex in the south of England. There are many stories about the Knuckers and legend has it that they reside in deep dark pools called a Knuckerhole, the most famous one being close to the village of Lyminster, but it was believed that they could be found in various places around Sussex. ... One version of the story revolves around a farmer boy names Jim. After the mayor of Arundel offered a reward to anyone who could kill the dragon, who was terrorizing the area and eating both livestock and villagers, Jim bakes a large poisoned pie which he took to the knuckerhole by horse and cart. The dragon ate everything, the pie, the horse, and the cart and subsequently died from the poison. ... #illustration #digitalart #lineart #nature #dragon #folklore #knucker #knuckerhole #instaartist #instaart #artistsoninstagram #art #drawing #sussex #englishfolklore https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu1d5RDl8ty/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gtzvp0nxgn4y

Playing with recycled cardboard, newspaper, acrylic and glue . Not finished yet but maybe when this Greenman is done, he can join the other five greenmen hanging on the walls about the house - or maybe even make it down to @ouseburnopenstudios in November... We'll see. Basically I am 'parallel playing' whilst my eldest does her history homework! #greenman #folklore #englishfolklore #britishfolklore #cardboard #cardboardart #recycledart #recycle #reuse #mythical #experiment #playing #artplay #historyhomework #newspaper #papiermache #greenmen https://www.instagram.com/p/B32YIWjAc54/?igshid=90gjlcv4kbeo

~~~~Mother Ludlam~~~~ Mother Ludlam was a white witch who lived in a cave in Surrey, England, a long time ago. Legend tells us that she would loan you anything you neeeded as long as you returned it within two days. If you wanted something, you could stand on a boulder near the entrance to her cave and state what you needed from her, and when you returned home you would find it on your doorstep. Until one day, when a man visited the cave and asked to borrow Mother Ludlam's cauldron. She was hesitant to grant this request at first as the cauldron was her personal property and very precious to her, but did so anyway and reminded to man that he must return the cauldron within two days, as per usual. For unknown reasons, the man failed to return Mother Ludlam's cauldron, and in fear of her wrath fled to the nearby Frensham Church, where the cauldrom remains to this day. ... ... Didn't turn out quite as good as i wanted, i need to work on tonal values more and a sense of light and shadow in these gouache pieces. I think it became a bit too messy. ... ... #illustration #art #drawing #painting #watercolour #watercolourpainting #gouachepainting #gouache #ink #fantasy #fantasyart #fantasyillustration #fantasydrawing #folklore #britishfolklore #englishfolklore #motherludlam #surrey #witch #whitewitch #englishwitches

Demon June is finally upon us and i've never been more pumped to actually finish it this year! First up is the Black Annis of English Folklore. Also known as Black Angie, this demon lived in caves and ate children. In my take, she's a little more concerned with making tasty meals 🤣 ... #demonjune is a rad art challenge for the month of June created by the amazingly talented @annamarineart 🖤 #demonjune2019 . .. ... #mohawkstampede #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolors #art #artislife #artist #artistoninstagram #paint #painting #paints #paintings #demon #demonpainting #demonpaint #demonjune #demonjune1 #blackannis #englishfolklore (at Cary, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByMLbycHXPv/?igshid=eckqje0umdh4

Look for this killer movie...perfect English Folklore @doggedthemovie @r_rowentree @ashmountainfilm @doggedhorrormovie

Lets get the definition out-of-the-way, so you’ll understand:   \ˈdȯ-gəd\ “Having or showing the attitude of a person who wants to do or get something and will not stop trying : stubborn and determined”.  In 2016, Richard Rowentree,  writer, director, producer and writer Matthew Davies took an award-winning micro-short film (total run time: 4 minutes) and worked some magic.
