30 minute sketch. It had to be a Raven this morning. One looking slightly worse for wear. It’s been a long but excellent season! @bromleyfc.bsky.social

Dodgy photo, of a slightly less dodgy watercolour, of a Male Stonechat. Don’t look too closely! The photo inspo by @CarlBovis is the most beautiful photo - take a look!🪶🪶

So, I’m enjoying sketching. It’s quick, portable and immediate. However, I love how watercolours can be dialled- down, and can trail off into nothingness. I haven’t quite got this yet with pencil…a good excuse to keep sketching!

I had a week in the warm. Took my painting things, but really struggled to adapt to the brighter light and all my paintings came out quite heavy. Even though it’s sunny out this morning, this has been easier! 🪶🪶

It’s one of those days where patience is required so I took a pencil and paper - but not a rubber or sharpener! 🫣 🪶🪶

I’m completely out of practice with flowers. Did this for a friend. Still trying to work out whether I will hand it over!

And it’s been another 21 days since my last effort. I’m definitely rusty, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this and as it’s still early in the day … who knows, I may have time for more… 🪶🪶

It’s been a while … 84 days to be precise. Needed a little reset this morning, so picked up the brushes. It’s always a little dodgy after a painting break to get back to where I was - this isn’t quite as bad as I expected - in fact, it’s perfectly not too bad 😁

So I deleted my post yesterday about family health issues, but most of you read it. So you know it’s tricky right now and you know how much my art is helping me. Been dipping in and out of this along the week. Keeping me positive! 🪶🪶

Trying to brush up on my sketching as I wait. Art really is therapeutic. Just an old HB pencil and notebook - you can see it getting blunter as I go! 🪶🪶
