    Back to Box Hill Part 1: The Green Wood

    When I got back from Coventry I decided to risk going back to Box Hill. I’d spent the spring and summer wanting to go there but too scared because of the lockdown especially the long bus ride, but I knew if I didn’t go there at all this year I’d be annoyed with myself and…

    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.

Some very good 5 minute drawings especially the reddish brown one on the left, using my favourite,…

    Life Drawing #40 – Tessa

    Dreadlock Holiday by 10cc was on my mind during this session, the model had long locks which made the session interesting and rather hard for accurate drawing because of the short pose times. But I adapted with using drips and more of the abstract ‘Negative Space’ series to help portray her. Seems to be a…
