We've had the best weather here in Tenerife for a few days - and a room with a view! Currently in denial about going home to the rain and cold 😭

I completely forgot to share these still life drawings from last weekend - catching up on more sessions from @emmacarlisle_ . Spent too long on these but drawing glass is always fun! And I love the contrast between the oranges and blue and white China.

A-Z of animals with @katie_moody ! This was such a fun session, 4 minutes per animal which I just about managed with gouache and then pencil/neocolor on top (although i did have to swap back a forth a bit to account for drying time). Animals are outside my comfort zone so I'm actually pretty happy with how these turned out! And I learned that pigs and hippos are surprisingly fun to draw! 🐖

These landscapes are based on some of the scenic shots from the David Attenborough documentary "Wild London" which is such a visual treat! I haven't even got round to drawing the wildlife yet. The bottom view is such an interesting one, it took us a few hours yesterday evening to figure out what the little dome with the lights is and how it could possibly have a view of St Paul's cathedral in the background.

These are wet-in-wet gouache which I'd never tried before. It's certainly a good way of loosening up because you can't easily control where the paint goes.

Loose wintery landscapes and tree portraits from @ema_malyauka 's December course. I've been finding myself stuck when using photo references recently and this was really helpful to start to break out of that trap. Unfortunately just as I'm starting to get out of my art slump it's very nearly time to go back to work!

A few very wintery scenes from @katie_moody 's patreon sessions this month! Here I'm using mainly gouache and neocolor over an acrylic gouache base. Painting snow is always so interesting and adding in night scenes is even more so!

Hi friends! I've been taking a break from Instagra

Hi friends! I've been taking a break from Instagram to focus on other things, including revisiting the Creative Voice course from @thegoodshipillustration and trying to do more drawing from imagination. One of the easiest and most fun things I find to do from imagination is take a landscape and turn into into a snowy scene! This one is based on a recent prompt from @drawdailytogether - Thanks to @olamozej
for the original reference!
