On Paper, Canvas, and iPad
We have some lovely native animals and birds here in Australia, and I thought it’d be fun to make a few drawings/paintings of some of them. These will be added to other art images I personally print as Art cards, which I sometimes sell locally. I began my Koala drawing with a graphite pencil sketch... Continue Reading →
Drawn freehand, with a dip of my fingertip, into some pretty colours in the Procreate app. In this app I used: gesinski ink, pencil, and the smudge tool set to gesinski ink.
*Watercolour and inkpen. This first small painting is of a bunch of gumleaves I picked and placed in a glass vase on the kitchen windowsill. They were quite dry (like our weather around here) and formed intriguing sculptural shapes. Another Gumleave painting here. Below, a windowsill view with fruit - drawn from memory and imagination....

I 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... Continue Reading →
I’m doing more gouache painting lately, and I thought I’d also try gouache in Procreate on the iPad. I like the smooth, soft feel of gouache in this app - I also used the pencil for a few details around the woman’s eyes. I could get it to a fine point, even though I’m using... Continue Reading →
“Woman in a Red Blouse”. 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... Continue Reading →
