Photos
- It’s impossible to learn what you “already know” (yup. I’ve fallen into that trap)
- It’s never been easier to get a teacher.
Another “urban sketching” experiment (I used a photo as it’s cold and I have a kid at home!) I made some mistakes with the first layer (too heavy paint in the sky not enough variation in the church) and I thought the foundation was terrible! But I think the end result is…okay. And I’ve learnt something so who cares.
It’s take film to get developed day.
I don’t share many photos of my daughter but I’ll share this one. From our trip to Zakopane.
My new Anne Pro 2 in all its RGB goodness.
We were in Zakopane this weekend and I tried my hand at urban sketching. It’s amazing how a few points can really help. Instead of starting with the pen, I started with the underlying colours. I think it turned out much better.
A very light, easy to drink beer.
A reminder of Julia Skott’s great idea from last year. Resolution Bingo.
I decided to revisit my old photoblog and start doing something a bit different. On the farm.
Merry Christmas everyone

When you read a chapter of a book and then draw this…I’m okay. Promise.
I broke out my little watercolour set this morning to make a picture of my daughter. Still getting used to watercolours but I managed to do a bit of highlights and shadows.
I busted out the pentel brush pen for #blackinkfriday five free Black Friday alternative activities.
I really like playing with procreate.
Morning reading from Ego Is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday.
I made a “Hawaii at night” inspired IPhone Wallpaper. Feel free to download if you fancy.
This feels an appropriate for this week
I’m reminded of Derek Sivers’s brilliant TED talk: keep your goals to yourself. Talk can make us ge like we’ve done more than we actually have. Silence is a strength.
Good morning
