I made a map but this one isn't being printed on p I made a map but this one isn't being printed on paper but on a mat! A child's car mat to be precise do you remember those? It was commissioned by @hippomatuk and is available now on pre-order, for delivery September. It was so fun to draw and incorporate the different parts of Cornwall that make it unique. Only 100 being printed so if you're interested hop over to the link in my profile or in Hippo mats.

In amongst the wild gorse and blackthorn today. No In amongst the wild gorse and blackthorn today. Nothing clears my head faster than a walk and a sketch, plus the gorse looked so vibrant in the sunshine today. 🌞 
Sketchwalks are beginning to get booked in again as restrictions ease and the new season brings calmer weather, can't wait to spend more time outdoors.

Happy Easter 🐣 You may recognise today's sketch Happy Easter 🐣 You may recognise today's sketch from my last post. I've redrawn the scene incorporating some of the new colours I've since added to my kit (I made a mini art haul and swatch about them and you are welcome to view over on my YouTube channel). So anyway here is a close up of the path. It's my favourite part of the sketch  because of the contrast of colours and the pops of pink coming through the greys. I wouldn't have thought of adding the bright blue too but since I've been sketching in colour this year rather than in black and white I'm seeing colours and their relationship to one another in a whole new light.

Yesterday morning I took my copics out with me and Yesterday morning I took my copics out with me and used them as a base for this sketch. Do you recognise the spot? It's right at the base of the Lizard Peninsula, and the place where I was due to do my artist residency last year- Polpeor, just down the road from where I am. Although the sun was very bright, it was also very windy so I sketched with my shades on, hood up and zips fastened tight, if you had spotted me I would have looked like I was trying to be incognito. I was snug though and my @paramooutdoor jacket did a great job of keeping me warm. It was a little tricky to take pictures but if you swipe through you'll be able to gauge the  colours of the piece. 
I'm really looking forward to drawing this scene again from my sketchbook and hope to retain the energy of the marks.

I'll let you in on a little secret, I have a box o I'll let you in on a little secret, I have a box of @copic_official markers which I received as a gift a couple of years ago but has barely been used. It's embarrassing as my husband bought them for me as at the time I 'really' wanted to try them out. When they arrived I was so excited but soon found I couldn't quite get them...they smelt for one and they also bled through the paper. Fast forward to now, and I've decided to dig them out and give them another chance, but this time I'm pairing them with  my watersoluble crayons and pencils and they may be growing on me! 🍎🍏🍎This is the 4th apple I've drawn this morning and I love the base they give, especially if I wet the media on top.

Do you have any hidden away art materials that you bought a while ago but have yet to see the light of day? Why not get them out and see what you can do with them, you might surprise yourself!

It's the first day of Spring! 🌼This sketch/draw It's the first day of Spring! 🌼This sketch/drawing/painting - not really sure what to call it, was inspired by a recent coastal walk around Mullion Cove. I wanted to capture all the colours of the area, and especially the contrast between the seas' greens, blues and greys and the land which has these beautiful mustard yellows, pinks, greens and browns. 
My Payne's grey is now down to a small stump, so I must remember to order another one from @jacksons_art, as you can see it's a popular colour in my kit. Plus I love the fact I can just order the colours I need, although I might be tempted to browse for more colours since watching @natashanewtonart's art haul videos...🖍🖌you've been warned!!
