Everyday Sketching

As I’m having a busy week, I’m going to do a few short posts of some recent sketches… This double-page spread is just a simple everyday sketch I did a few weeks ago which I like. It’s of a local scene – a street tree and a big East Lindfield house – that was painted...

Everyday Sketching

As I mentioned in my monthly newsletter yesterday, one of the big takeaways from my recent road trip has been a return to my ‘geography roots’. This was sparked by my love of the Hay Plain and two stops on the way to Mungo National Park. As a result, I’m really wanting to learn more...
