I love lump sanguine. There’s nothing quite like drawing with rock 🙂
2B Pencil. I always struggle with soft pencil – too soft to be precise but too hard to be expressive (like charcoal)… Good to play with the balance…
Sticking with the same dried flower head, moving to fine markers. Drawing two is a quick study in 0.3mm marker. Drawing three looks more closely at how the…
After a year of throwing paint at canvases in a fairly expressionistic kind of way, I feel like getting back to basics is in order, so for this…

For some reason quite a few participants on 28 Drawings Later are doing bananas, with at least one person doing a different banana (different style, medium etc.) each…
Bit of a catch-up post. Drawing fifteen : life study Drawing sixteen : The City Alight Tried to recreate the success of drawing thirteen with another out-of-the-window pastel…
Drawing twelve did happen, but was a disaster so I’ve exercised my right to “file” it. Drawing thirteen is a little pastel study of the sunset from my…
