On Paper, Canvas, and iPad
Gum leaves are a favourite subject of mine; their sweeping curves are a joy to capture in a dance of pencil lines. These had their beautiful bonnet shaped flowers on show. I picked them while I was out walking with our dogs. I also collected some with gum nuts, which I’ve drawn in graphite pencil -... Continue Reading →
Began with graphite pencil on paper, then scanned the drawing into the iPad. I then brought it into the “Procreate” app where I drew in some colour (freehand) with the burnt tree and 4B charcoal, and darkened some of the line work with the ink bleed pen. *I post here usually every two to 3 weeks; more...

This is the size of ACEO art cards; popular with some artists. I scanned it into the iPad with the “Scanner Pro” app. Then printed... Continue Reading →
I painted this with Sennelier watercolour, on Strathmore hot pressed %100 cotton paper. It’s approx. 7cm (3”) x 10.5 cm (4”) in size. I began with a scratching of blue coloured pencil; and then put a little coloured pencil over the watercolour as well. I love miniatures in art, and words - a lot can... Continue Reading →
