Bit of a rescue operation on this still life sketch with some light blue neocolor to tone down the shadows I'd painting too dark, with the added bonus of a nice texture! I hope you're all having a nice weekend!

A couple of sketches for @drawdailytogether, I really like the composition on the second one. Not sure I did the geese justice, so I might try that one again in monochrome. Thanks to @laurahartart and @vitaminecreativiteit for the great references!

This July it will be five years since I started painting again and first created this account. This little Cornwall spread is from 2023 and once of the first times I felt like I was making art that really captured a place with the feeling I wanted. Swipe for the evolution from 2020 (watercolour, no drawing on top allowed), 2021 (collage, embracing wonkiness), and spring and autumn 2024 (finally feel like I know my materials!).

I fell in love with this reference from @sarajanesayerpaints for @drawdailytogether instantly, those pops of yellow and blue! Of course, I then spent too long on this and actually prefer my monochrome sketch 😆

Lindisfarne sketches! I'm taking part in the summe

Lindisfarne sketches! I'm taking part in the summer arty challenge with @clairefontaine_finearts in July, and they kindly sent me a lovely box of goodies to use in my entry. I spent some time today making preparatory sketches and testing the paper and the pencils from @darwi_world. This is the Misca mixed media paper, which is made from eco-friendly elephant grass and has an interested speckled texture and pattern. Swipe through for a close up!

Thanks @clairefontaine_finearts for selecting me and the lovely materials!
