With all the flourishing of lines, and whooshing down of watercolour lately, I’m not sure If I did washes first in this one, or the ink pen, a bit of both I think... I used the “Kuretake Gansai Tambi” watercolours, I bought a little while back. Love the large pans of colour. I used the Scanner... Continue Reading →
A bit of a play, on a piece of 4” x 6”, 290gsm Canson canvas paper. It took the watercolours, and little bit of gouache quite well. Drew over the paint with a few ink pen lines for some definition. No pilling...the washes lay longer on the surface than with watercolour paper. This can make... Continue Reading →
*A play with the delightful Gesinski Ink in Procreate. I also used the smudge tool, set to Gesinski Ink, and swished it over some areas. This adds a further painterly effect. I plan to do a print of it. I think a textured watercolour paper would suit this image. Firstly, as is my usual practice,... Continue Reading →
*Drawn with my finger in the Crayon Style app, with a little more work using the smudge tool and art media, in Procreate. Below is the inkjet print I did of it on Premio Kozo paper - to which I added a touch of yellow pencil, and graphite pencil on the hair. Crayon Style is... Continue Reading →

It began as a quick pencil sketch, which I scanned into my iPad with the Scanner Pro app, then took into Procreate, to add more media. Below is the beginning small pencil sketch, from memory and...

I like to begin something with a rush of linework, whether I have visual information to work from or not. It’s kind of fun not knowing exactly... Continue Reading →
*A quick sketch with my black Pentel brush pen, and some colour washes using Inktense ink blocks. This is drawn in an A4 Sketch book journal, with a lovely woven eco friendly paper. After scanning it into the iPad with the Scanner Pro app, I then added little further work in Procreate. I also cleaned up... Continue Reading →
*I painted this on A4 220gsm Canson drawing paper - it holds washes surprisingly well, for a drawing paper. I began with some quick lines using a “Faber-Castell, Dark Sepia Pitt” artist pen, and then added watercolour. These are a few of the many landscapes I’ve attempted in recent months. I’m finding this quite a... Continue Reading →
*Painted freehand on the iPad screen, with my finger, using: Gesinski ink, smudge tool and the ink bleed pen in the Procreate app. The Gesinski ink has a rather pleasant washy feel. Watercolour, gouache and coloured pencil on 300gsm tan Strathmore mixed media paper. This paper is lovely, even though it does have some odd... Continue Reading →
