DISCOVERING ART THROUGH EXPLORATION
There is so much going on online, again I feel like I have barely scratched the surface. It's great how you can do online courses in watercolours or even sketchbook journalling, but I like the ones that really challenge my creativity, and allow me some freedom to play around with ideas and techniques etc. It's...

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 →
