Drawings and sketches don't just exist in isolation, so this web site puts in context the circumstances that surround living as an artist, along with the constant challenge of not getting snowed under by the mundane, which conspires to convince us of the lie that we are all less than the Divine.

So every mark I make, no matter how humble, is a victory.

Now to avoid being pretentious I'll just get on with sketching....

When this rain stops I must get out and about sketching.

Meanwhile a different approach to the subject. One stoke at a time, avoided muddying the subject.

Kitchen table watercolour

Loose watercolour sketch
Loose watercolour of objects in my kitchen. Thankfully I managed to put down the washes in one go without fussing with them which ruins the effect and natural beauty of watercolour washes.

I'm working a lot with oils and acrylics recently so 'one go' washes are something I've got out of practice with.

Want to do a load more spontaneous watercolours. Plenty of room for improvement.
