This one began life as a little sketch I did while sitting on the steps in the sun, at Manly Cove. It’s 2nd life was when the colour was applied and it became a greeting card and print. Third time lucky was the large line & watercolour sketch I did recently. But it’s luck ran [...]

The Sun is out. Perhaps beginning to go down. It is 6.22pm. What a difference the sunshine makes. This is the day before Christmas.

It rained on our last Sketch day class. Not so much on us, but on everyone. As it turned out we were planning to meet at an indoor/ outdoor cafe and work from there. Perfect. Rain was not a problem. People always want to eat and drink regardless so there were plenty of subjects to [...]

I found this sketchbook tucked away, in which I’d done a few sketches while spending some time in Paris in 2008. At the time I was concentrating a lot on watercolour painting, and not much on sketching. It’s only in the last year or so I’ve turned towards sketching in such a big way. So [...]
