If you have been following me for a while, you may remember that I did a drawing of my front garden in about the 23rd of February 2019. Since the beginning of 2020, I had the idea that I would – at some point – draw the same scene, 1 year apart. Here it is…

Some “Real Art” of My Other Lounge
So first I would like to say that by “Real Art”, I am talking about drawing, painting, oil pastels, etc, – instead of the Graphic and Web Design stuff that I have been doing for the last week or two! Graphic Design and Web Design is definitely still art, but when I think of art,…
Animal Artwork #2 – A Leopard
So I decided to do a drawing of an animal, more specifically a leopard! First, I looked at several images of leopards on the internet. Then, I began to do the drawing! It probably took be about 30-40 minutes from start-finish. My favourite part of it was definitely drawing the eyes and the spots, of…
Shed in the back garden (again)!
I am sorry I haven’t posted for a while – I will try and get back into schedule now. Anyway here is my latest drawing. As you can see, it is of the shed in the back garden. I have used many different shading techniques – smooth shading (in the roof), hatching (in the floor…

Metaphorical Still Life
Welcome back everyone! This is a still life I have done for the drawing course I am doing. Before I actually drew it, I jotted some ideas down in my sketchbook and planned some thumbnail sketches. After that, I put the objects down on the floor, photographed them in a few different angles, and then…
Plastic Bag Drawing – Evaluation.
I am in the first week of a 4 week online drawing course. This is one of the assignments I did of a plastic bag so that I could practice folds, creases, wrinkles, etc in the context of smooth shading. In the course, one of the tasks was to do an evaluation. Here it is:…
My first painting with watercolour pencils – for a long time
I’ve use watercolour pencils before, but that was a while ago and I wanted to try it again. So, I went off to an art shop and bought some! They are nothing special, just fairly cheap Crawford & Black ones – but it will help me to learn how to use them well. This painting…
Update: Artwork from holiday.
So I have just come back from holiday again, and you were probably wondering why I haven’t done any posts recently. Have I forgotten about WordPress? Have I simply not done artwork? Well the real answer is that there wasn’t very good internet connection in the caravan to do a full post. I have been…
