Progress in small steps with eye and hand breaks once I got into the pebble section – differing ideas on the next step which I will work out before committing to his A3 new drawing. When seen working on this on Saturday the shocked reaction to the fact that yes I hand draw every pebble …
So today was session three of three with both Year 3 and 4 at the local primary school as part of our sketching project. A wet morning so I was so glad that we did our outdoor sketching last week. The classroom title has significance because I fled almost from classrooms as a location early …
Tomorrow I am back in school so between yesterday and today I put together packs of cards for four tree art based tasks that encourage the children to look at the images on 10 card designs of mine and draw some tree features for themselves. Also the boiler suit pictures to be drawn on the …
In conversation with other local businesses we have reflected how it is impossible to predict what may happen on any given day. So Friday had seen the sale of two cards but pleasing as it took sales over £100 for the week. Today cooler, dry for most of it except some light showers near the …

From an art point of view I took a selection of photos on our morning walk including time on the pier, watching the sailing club going out to race, seafront. I started a sketch after my …
