Buying new art equipment is so exciting. I bought some new coloursoft and inktense pencils to use in my sketchbook. I wanted something that was cleaner to use than pastels so I could sketch on the train or whilst on a walk etc. Now having so much fun jotting down my ideas.

Set off early this morning to pick up one of my large paintings from Weetons. I felt that the final exhibition needed it. It’s an example of how I jumped from one idea to another.

Thank you to the gentleman on theContinue reading “Sotheby’s”
