A milder day – no thermals needed below the overalls. Today I drew with K-M this morning, chatted with TH, sold some cards and later SD paid for her commissioned box. So some sales, some drawing and also some pieces finished. I completed my Corfe Castle piece and also played with some observations of the …
I often get asked when I started doing art and to be honest in its current format 2015 when I started to keep a sketchbook and braved the world of Urban Sketching – first time out this week 2015, Borough Market, Southbank, London on a Saturday lunchtime – proof that drawing can help you to …
It had to happen and today was that day… In other news, two ladies did art for fun and enjoyed it. I completed my marker colour chart and shop audit, home studio to add yet. I drew two new commissions – a greeting card and a hand drawn wooden box and got great feedback from …

A question that arises quite often especially at times like this half term when I sit out at a table setting and turn my art tools over to anyone who wishes to take part (rough 4 years plus rule). When I started to draw and keep sketchbooks in 2015, just 6 years ago I discovered …
