Octopus Blues

Oils on watercolour paper.

I didn’t draw this out first, just decided I wanted to paint with turquoises, blues and greens and went from there. Perhaps this is a work in progress, perhaps it isn’t.

Will replace with a decent quality scan when it’s dry enough :)

Puppy Training

I have plans to sort this blog out properly, but in the meantime I’ll endeavour to update regularly I suppose!

In April we got an Airedale Terrier puppy, so I’ve been going along to dog training sessions [albeit I’ve not been doing the training, my boyfriend Tom is]. Quite a good chance to sit and draw from a room full of dogs.

None of our little Cooper today, but plenty of his ‘classmates’.

Pencil, mostly. Colour painted in Photoshop afterwards.

composting

composting-show2That dirty thing that I’ve been battling with for godknowshowlong. It’s not hard, just doesn’t seem to hold my attention much – I wonder why… starting to take shape a bit more now, though. Oh, and in context:

I need to clean up this blog, migrating from FTP to the blogger servers has left it looking a bit of a mess. Hmm. The main reason I haven’t been updating is because of having to deal with it. Enough of the excuses! I’ll get down to work…

Kingfishers

I got the go ahead on some new projects this week- Kingfishers for the London Wildlife Trust at Camley Street. So here’s a couple of preliminary drawings with markers, it’s been a while since I used them, not sure I ever tried to use them seriously to be honest? I enjoyed working with them.

Will progress to more interesting images as I get familiar with their anatomy…

Sketchbook Pages

Going to drip feed a few sketchbooks from the past year over the coming weeks, now I’ve set up a more efficient way of scanning them. Enjoy!
