For most of my life I believed that I couldn't draw. I think this is partly because some members of my family are naturally good at it which caused me to write myself off. But I also know that with many things in life if you start practicing then you get better.
In 2015 I decided to try and push myself through my lack of skill. I did four pencil sketches of garden scenes. They weren't great but I surprised myself.
In 2019 I tried drawing a building: starting with some studies before doing a final piece.
Next I sketched some animals and surprised myself again.
I've experimented with watercolours. My attempts at mixing my own colours were clumsy and heavy.
But watercolour pencils washed over with a brush yielded more satisfactory results.
I've also tried other media.

I've made timelapse films of some pieces
I'm working my way through Bargue's Cours de Dessin
I've made sketches of some of my adventures
I've also made postcards of my art.
If you'd like a print or a postcard of any of these then please get in touch and I'll figure something out. I'd love to send you something!
