Slate Sculpture at the Lake District

Slate Sculpture, Lake District

The weather wasn't that wonderful at the Lake District, so I only managed to complete one life drawing whilst visiting a slate mine. Also visited the John Ruskin museum which was amazing and very inspirational. Some of the detail in his work is incredible, definitely worth a visit.

Summerhill Glen, Douglas, Isle of Man

Dolphin Rocks, Summerhill Glen.

I took some of my art materials with me whilst visiting the Isle of Man, and had the opportunity to create a couple of life drawings. I completed most of the work during my stay but added dark acrylic paint on my return. These two pieces are created using mixed media and consist of pen, graphite crayon, black watercolour pencil/paint and acrylic paint.

I really enjoyed creating these pieces and will certainly make time to do some more life drawing in September, when I visit the Lake District. This will be good experience as I haven't actually done any landscape drawing. I'm hoping to continue my exploration of mark making to create some new and interesting pieces.

Stairway, Summerhill Glen.

Prints of these images will be up for
sale shortly on my online shops.

Inside Book Illustration

My All

I recently completed a commission for a short story illustration. The image was created using watercolour, graphite crayon, charcoal, pen and acrylic paint and as always finalised in Photoshop. The story had a slightly dark tone so I wanted to try and capture this feeling in the work.

Brixton

Brixton's Afloat

Attended a Flea Circus in London to celebrate the launch of George Lewkowicz's new book "The Flood". Amazing night, lots of class acts.  I've never been to a flea circus before and it was really different.  Loved it a lot.

Here's a taste of one of my illustrations for his interactive book which is going to be on sale soon.
