I don’t have any finished work to show today, but here’s a shot of some work-in-progress. Yes, my love of stamps has resurfaced and this time I’m using them as inspiration rather than using them as an actual medium. With a bit of luck I’ll have this piece finished by next Sunday! Pop along and [...]

Yes, I know it’s Monday but it was a busy weekend and there were exhibitions to blog about! I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about designs that will work with print Gocco, and here’s what I’ve got so far… Looks ok, some fine detail but in theory this should work with the system. I’m [...]

It’s been a couple of weeks since I added anything to my sketchbook and I was resigned to having nothing to show for a third week running… but yesterday inspiration struck, just in the nick of time. I’ve been really enjoying watching Grimm on television and I think we can blame that for my rekindled [...]

Yes, I know it’s Tuesday, clearly I’m running a bit behind schedule! No real sketching to speak of last week, but I did jot a few ideas into my sketchbook as it was the nearest thing to hand when inspiration struck. Doesn’t look like much to you, but it should be a valuable memory aid [...]

Last Sunday, following a week completely bereft of any sketching, I said I would try to draw at least one thing each day this week. It was a bit of a rash idea bearing in mind that this week was one of my gardening weeks, but I thought I would give it a go. I [...]

Yet another week has passed and once again we arrive at Sunday Sketchblog with nothing to show. I did think about quickly getting something down on paper just so I had something to put on the blog, but then decided that would be pretty pointless. I had a busy week and I completely immersed myself [...]

I have to put my hands up and admit that my heart really wasn’t in it this week. I just didn’t have the right head on for drawing. I sat down this morning with the intention of doing a sketch of my bag and its contents… and as you can see I didn’t get very [...]

At the start of January I bought these books (got to love the Amazon Marketplace, especially when the books qualify for free delivery – two books for the grand total of £4.88!). I genuinely can’t remember why, which is a bit annoying, but I suspect it’s because I saw them mentioned somewhere and thought they [...]

I abandoned my usual watercolours this week in favour of playing with inks instead. I’ve returned to a style that I favoured a lot about half a decade ago, and enjoying it so much that I’m wondering why I stopped! It’s very simple, but I like the way it quickly becomes dramatic. I do have [...]
