Sketching Sydney

Last week I had two sketching outings in the City and did some fun colourful versions of a few of Sydney’s important buildings. In February I did an ink drawing of Sydney Town Hall (see here) and last Wednesday afternoon I was hoping to do a coloured version… but it was a warm day and...

SketchingNowTeacup Sketching

Last week I announced in my monthly newsletter and in my livestream that I’m working on a new course all about… drumroll please… Teacups! I’ve been asked so many times to do a dedicated course on Teacups and so I’m super excited to be able to put it together now. I’m having lots of fun...
