Pages from my sketchbooks over the winter months, from blue skies to snowy landscapes.
Moving between the Var where we don’t often get snow to the Ubaye valley with its winter climate and ski stations.

India part two
Ladakh to New Delhi via Kargil and Srinagar.
An incredible and sometimes hair raising journey from the high mountains of Ladakh over pass’s of 5,000 meters, down to the beautiful Dal lake in Cashmere and then to New Delhi. Sketching all the way!
India, part one.
August, September 2022.
Leh, Ladakh.
Some of the pages from my sketchbook, in and around Leh in Ladakh.
A wonderful and peaceful region to sketch, predominately Buddhist, with incredible perched monasteries and fields full of Stupas and Chortens.
All surrounded by hugely impressive high mountains with gardens and valleys full of flowers.
Because of the altitude the colours appear so pure and bright, such a fabulous place to visit.
Italy
Sea, mountains and beautiful old buildings.
I have a lot of sketches to add, I’ve been very busy, so now I will try to catch up.
These sketches were drawn from my photographs taken whilst on the Ligurian coast in and around Alassio.
More flowers….
Just before moving onto a different subject, two more sketchbook pages involving flowers.
These pages were done following the yearly flower market in Barcelonnette, such a riot of colours , impossible to resist.
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!
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!
