I was heartbroken by last week's news as I've been upto Sycamore Gap several times with the intention of doing some Astrophotography, only for the clouds to roll in. Now I'll never get that photograph of the Sycamore with the Milky Way overhead.Like several others, I was inspired to create an image in memory of an old friend to many the world over, who despite their years, should've had centuries more ahead.I've only been painting with watercolour for a few months, although I have been d

Quite the beginner, I'm drawn to the magical aspects of nature. Semi abstract, wet on wet watercolour is my favourite , which allows me to paint wild nature, but put my own magical slant on it! This piece was inspired by a tutorial by Joanne Boon Thomas.

Title or Location: Miss Wary
I was taking a portrait drawing class back in 2019 with Frank Zamora at SCC. As somewhat of a perfectionist, I found myself struggling to let myself free in my work. I know what captivated me also captivated others...the lips, jaw lines, the nose, ears and the eyes can all look different and "change", based on angle and lighting.So this was the first time I decided to give up on proportions, let go, and just draw what I felt to me was weirdly beautiful. No one face is perfectly proportional,
