Train 10.5.16

Posted by May 20, 2016

On the train to London for work, musing over my recent troubles with sketching.  I worry that storyboarding has made me too impatient to handle a longer drawing.

Urban sketching

A sketch of William Pitt, in Pembroke College, Cambridge.

It was way too cold for the allotted 2hrs of drawing; after managing that one I produced worse and worse work until I gave up and went off for hot chocolate.  I am clearly a fair weather sketcher.  Also I do get a bit bored drawing buildings, even though I love looking at them when someone else does them.

RHS Companion to Scented Gardens

Posted by November 17, 2014

These are garden plans I painted for the recently published RHS Companion to Scented Gardens by Stephen Lacey. I was given the layout and plant names and then maxed out my Pinterest saving pictures of each one to refer back to.   I enjoyed this job – orderliness and plants, a satisfying combination for a control-freak nature lover like myself.
