I began to paint in March ‘20. Through trial and error and being a harsh self-critic, I’ve developed my skills. I paint for me! Painting is my release - I work quickly and instinctively, loving what colour can do and the freedom I feel as I push paint around the paper. 🎨

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

Couldn’t settle to paint, but then I did and lost my thoughts for 45 whole minutes.

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!

I always felt my drawing was the weakest area so have done a few quick sketches here and there. Just completed the central raven - took about 45 minutes. Here are all my efforts so far!

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!

Trying to improve my drawing/sketching is actually quite good fun!

Oh, back in my happy place this morning … tea, sunrise and paintbrush in hand. I’ve missed these starts to the day!

Not painted for a couple of months. Feel like I’m starting from scratch. I’m sure I’ll get it back 🫣😬🤞!

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!

A 25 minute work-out with the brushes. Great fun!

Can you tell it’s half term? I’ve currently created more birds than I have ‘likes’ on social media! 🤣🤣

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