DISCOVERING ART THROUGH EXPLORATION
I'm a big fan of winter but even I'm over the cold season this year. And without fail on the 1st September (for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere) it was a warm, sunny spring day. Work has been very manageable this week so it allowed me some free time to sit in my... Continue Reading →

Now that I’m drawing outdoors more and living in an inner-city suburb I’m increasingly aware of buildings and architectural structures dominating much of the urban landscape.

I managed a couple more Urban Sketches, which completes one book. So I will start the new year with a new book. I was thinking of drawing scenes... Continue Reading →

So I only managed two Urban Sketches of my neighbourhood, but I'm hoping with the Christmas break coming up to fit in some more. The... Continue Reading →
