Drawing on hats…

So I have one commission left to complete and it is another hand drawn hat design. I started this new idea during Lockdown 1.0 with my own logo pith helmet. The first design was very simple and linked to the logo I already had. So, I had in fact done a design before I got …

The power of feedback

Drawing as I do, painting, sculpture, whatever art form you might produce is personal to you as its creator. I am starting the wonderful journey where I am asked to produce a piece directly for someone else (a commission). I have already found that it is not always easy to find exactly what that person …

I now know the bay better but find that when drawing pieces that photographs help to add extra details of aspects that I can not envisage clearly. This morning I had already made a slideshow of the particular focus in the bay …

Lockdown 2, 2020

In an hour England goes into its second national lockdown due to Covid-19 spread. This time I am more settled having been through one lockdown already. This time we live in Swanage and not up at Hillview on Houns Tout so the sea will be a support each day. So I did my third day …

Apologies for the absent artist

I used to be a regular blogger on a personal level and when I set up AndyKnillArt.com that was my intention. Life in 2020 has got in the way somewhat and my direction as an artist has changed quite a bit. I now have two online spaces: This blog/ account which I never gave enough …
