Sketching journal

  • It’s all about flowers….

    Spring flowers, I just can’t resist them.

    Dipladenia, fuchsia, scented garden roses, lilac, all there waiting for me to paint them!

  • A busy week!

    Perfect weather for outdoor sketching, whilst juggling commissions and project meetings.

    I don’t usually have time to do so much Urban sketching, or in my case rural sketching, but I need to make the most of it before it gets too hot and busy. So here is a tour around some of my local villages.

  • Easter weekend

    Very welcome weekend in the mountains. Sitting in the sunshine sketching really raises the spirits, after two weeks of Covid. All feels right in my world again.
    More Easter weekend sketches to follow, from the valley of the Ubaye and Barcelonnette.

  • Style experiment!

    Using pencil, ink and watercolour each of the four sketches are worked in a different way

    The results are similar, but if you look closely not the same!
