Urban Sketching – Part 1

Urban Sketching – Part 1

Last year I was lucky to go on a month long trip to Europe, I decided to use an A5 Moleskine watercolour album to document my trip. It started in the UK with an intensely arty weekend. First was the

Advent Challenge 18 – Angela Smythe

It was one of those viral things, someone likes a page on facebook, and being nosy you go over to have a look and discover someone who tickles your funny bone. That’s how I found Angela Smythe who is based

Cattitude

I’m a dog person. Our family always had dogs, all kinds of dogs. The boring ones that were the canine version of Kim Kardashian (popped out babies – needed loads of attention) and the completely barking mad ones. The husky

Drawing from experience

  When I was in high school, I lusted after and received for my birthday…a book. At the time it cost a small fortune and my parents’ eyes probably watered at the price. But it was a book and in our

Getting an inkling

Over a year ago I received what I considered a strange but flattering comment on my owl post (no this is not Harriet Potter) from a young woman named, Ali. She wrote: “I absolutely love your drawing of the eagle

Go figure!
