I'm trying something new because I'm still in an artistic slump at the moment. I'll be doing a lot of work outdoors this summer, so I've decided that every time I have a tea break, I'm going to draw something. No theme, just something I can see whenever I stop. It will mostly be nature but I'll...

We had a holiday Jamaica last month, thought I'd share some pictures with you. It was my first time outside of Europe, so it was a huge adventure. And what a beautiful place! So warm, so blue, so much rum ... Feel free to use the photos as references if you want. I have a few...

As per title ... I thought it might be fun and interesting to see what we're all buying ourselves from the art department. I just got this ceramic palette delivered today. The wells are small but I'll be using it for putting my watercolours in straight from the tube rather than for mixing...

This is something I started last year, when I had to work from home and wasn't able to go anywhere due to lockdown. I would zoom in somewhere entirely at random on Streetview and draw wherever I ended up. My rule was that I could move around a little bit as long as I stayed on the same road. I...

Hopefully I will have some new material to post soon, l but heire's another one from 2019. It's from a photo I took of a spider that was abseiling down the side of my van and I loved the strong shadow. I've painted him three times now. It's done in W&N and Jackson's watercolours with a Pitt Pen...
