Flowers from the garden

Cambridge Open Studios

Took delivery of my bright yellow flag and box of guides this morning, it's all starting to feel very real now! Full details of the event can be found at the website - www.camopenstudios.co.uk
and my studio will be open weekends two (12 -13th) and three (19 - 20th) of July so come along if you live nearby. Email me with your address if you want a guide (UK only).

Better get on and create a few masterpieces!

Loosening up

Regular readers of my blog will know that drawing has always been a bit of a bug bear for me, the one thing that I have always been told I can do well yet it is the one thing that has always held me back as an artist. I have never kept sketchbooks of any quality, never wanted to, although I have loads of scrapbooks and texture books and lately have picked up art journaling which I love. Drawing drains and frustrates me yet if I am to produce the kind of art work and illustration that I want to I need to fix this. And soon. So I have bought a new sketchbook and pen which is just for this purpose. Good or bad I am going to add these pages to my blog and flickr and hopefully find my perfect line...
