There’s much I’m investigating and experimenting with lately. Lots of mixed media work on paper, and little on canvas, and in between it all some work on the iPad - good fun! It’s wonderful to have some work on the go, and ideas percolating, awaiting a brush or pen. And so exciting when they get... Continue Reading →
Watercolour, Inktense block colour, graphite pencil, on Strathmore 300gsm 5” x 7” watercolour paper. For the underlying drawing I used a brush that I continually swished over a black Derwent Inktense block.

From that app I took it into the iPad’s photo section, and from there into the Procreate app. That’s where I tidied up around the edges of the scanned image, and then... Continue Reading →

*I draw and paint with my finger on the screen, rather than use a stylus. This drawing began as a quick sketch using a black "inktense" pencil. With a wet brush, I swished over it - turning it into lovely inky wash. There's a photo here, of a tiny print version of this drawing; taken from... Continue Reading →
