Yesterday I spent an enjoyable couple of hours on an online art class, drawing many hands with the @londondrawinggroup taken by @joshua.armitage and @frances.stanfield Like many people drawing hands and feet are avoided at all cost, but I immersed myself into the process and came out the other end with a new love for hands. Next challenge is to add them to a body! Will try in my next life drawing session. Wishing you a good week ahead #drawinghands #sketchdaily #artonpaper

A week in Norfolk. Time away, preparing for the year ahead. Wind blowing walks, good food and a little sight seeing. I’ve also been trying my hand at quick figure drawing, inspiration taken from a wedding photo l found in a book where I’m staying in Mundesley. I hope your week has been a good one #newplans #norfolkcoast #figuredrawing

Slowing down a little now. I thought I would pop on here to wish you a peaceful holiday.
At a time of unrest around the world l know it’s going to be far from a holiday for those who are suffering. I as a person can only do my part which l feel will help and with hope l can join the many wishing for peace x

The past few months I’ve been working towards the upcoming exhibition ‘Secrets from the Greenhouse’ which will be held @thecrownhastings in the heart of Hastings Old Town for the month of November. This first mixed media series painted on board originated from a botanical study during a 6 month stay in Lisbon last year. There will be framed and unframed sketches too, perfect for a gift. The Crown is open everyday from 11am-11pm and have a very tasty menu. Any art enquiries please email me at info@obiko.co.uk Have a wonderful Sunday

I sketched all week, with work in between. It amazes me how my brain reminds me to do this. I spent a sun-filled day in Eastbourne yesterday. It took me to the @townergallery to see the enlightening film @fashionreimagined about Amy Powney fashion designer of Mother of Pearl who goes on a journey to produce her first sustainable collection, worth a watch even if you’re not into fashion. The gallery itself is preparing for hosting the Turner Prize, opening 28th September, looking forward to this especially as it’s so close. Most of the day was spent on the beach, clearing my head from all the clutter #townergallery #bythesea #sketchdaily
