Just a quick note to let you know that I am on another Sabbatical this week, so there will be no blog posts till next Monday. Due to a few engagements that were locked in before I decided to do the sabbatical thing, I have been unable to stick to the 7-week cycle. It has...

Everyday Sketching

Today was a LOT of fun but also much harder – not only because of the painting but also because I was much closer to my subjects and in a more obvious seat in the cafe. As a result of my physical location, a number of people (including the cafe owner) spoke to me and...

Everyday Sketching

Something amazing happened to me this morning while I was sketching people on my train journeys. It’s a little hard to put into words, but I feel like a switch was flicked today. For the first time ever I felt really comfortable, even confident, while sketching people in a super quick way. Each one of...
