    Jurassic Jaunt Part 3- What’s a Sheep Lulworth with All MOD Cons?

    Previously on Jurassic Soap: A pre: Lulworth Doodle I left you last time walking from Dungy Head and into Lulworth Cove, and now…[Majel Barrett voice] the conclusion !

    When I was an art student in the 90’s you’d expect me to have been into Hirts and all that, but I actually was just as much into Monet’s Haystacks and the skyscapes and oil sketches of John Constable. The latter, especially his Cloud Studies and Skyscapes left a very big mark on my psyche…

    Garden Drawings

    I have been exploring drawing in the garden (well the shared space of crazy paving we call a garden) and live-streaming the results on my Twitch, Facebook and YouTube channels. I was particularly inspired by videos from Isolation Art School on Instagram – particularly the videos by @artpedagogy and Andee Collard around mark-marking, experiment and…
