On Paper, Canvas, and iPad
Landscape 1. The inspiration for these four landscapes comes from the countryside surrounding the little Australian country town, that I’m blessed to live in. Often the distant mountains are bright blue, and the sky’s blaze red in the sunsets, or sadly in the past, from bushfires... Landscape 2. I drew/painted these from memory, and a... Continue Reading →
A closer view of a drawing I shared in my last post. I drew it with the lovely, inky, “Zen Brush 3” media. As a mum of four boys - young men now - this is often a favourite subject matter. I make small A6 proof prints of some of my iPad art (and sometimes... Continue Reading →
I drew this with: gesenski ink, wet acrylic, 6B pencil and the smudge tool, in the Procreate app. My adventures in drawing on an iPad, began about seven years ago. Much of it, along with some of my art in traditional media, and a few of my illustrated poems, I’ve recorded here. I also built... Continue Reading →
Inkpen and graphite pencil in one of my sketchbooks. This is an inkjet print I did of it, on Canson 220 drawing paper. A gallery of works further along. Over the years, I’ve continually tacked up my artworks: sketches, poems, watercolours... usually in the kitchen. As a mum of four boys (young men now) this... Continue Reading →

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 →
“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 →
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 →
