South Marine Park

In South Shields theres a whole stretch of parks. As the weather was typically British: grey, overcast, probably going to rain, we took shelter in the park under a handy canopy we found. After much deliberation we settled now what we were going to paint. naturally after we had started applying paint to board the […]

And I’m back. Artist improvement and not drawing everyday.

We got ofsteded. I am a perfectionist that rewrote all my lesson plans and SOWs. Then I got a horrendous head cold and am now frantically catching up on everything. Today’s post is brought on my contemplating a popular YouTubers ‘addressing the commenters’ video: I find her take on on improving and developing as an […]

Inktober 20017 #31

Mask. Reference from Letzteschatten-stock. Well I think the month has helped me get better at drawing, and noses, but I still need to work on drawing smoke. This photos a bit lighter than the original as it was to dark, but I didn’t really notice until now as I was galloping out the door to […]

Inktober 2017 #29

United Overall happy with this one. Was heavy handed with the shading on the cheeks, so they look like hairy tears, I think a more expressive line might work better for when I don’t have a chance to hatch the whole piece out. Reference from Senshistock. I used my kuru toga mechanical pencil, sailor fude […]

Inktober 2017 #25

Ship. I used to read epic fantasy when I was a kid, I had read all the kids books in the library and then over on to epic fantasy (and the discworld) I read a series called Live Ships, where the figure heads could talk, navigate and fight back against invaders. Half way through sticking […]

A quick card

Very sadly one of my students has passed away. He did have a chronic illness, but got on with life at his own pace and left the class seemingly fine. His wife sent me an email to let me know of his passing, so as he was part of a very proactive art group, we’re […]

Sketching

In an effort to improve my people drawing I did some sketching when attending an Art Fund lecture on country houses. I can’t remember the name of the lecturer, but he was very good.  It was about how country houses and castles are functionally different, but they did overlap.

Sketching on the go!

I’ve just been away to London for three days and I took some sketching implements with me. As a follower of Liz Steel, Teoh Yi Chie and Path Southern Pierce (warning, you’ll walk away with a new foundation pen and a portable palette) I gathered up my materials and decided i would make use of the train ride down to […]
