These are my raw unedited sketches from my Birthday trip down to London. All these were done at the Victoria and Albert museum. I had a wonderful few days and I am inspired to do more museum sketching and en plein air.
Also I have lots of ideas brewing for some paintings.

20 x 20 cm alla prima acrylic painting today. This was very enjoyable to paint, getting in the bounce light from the hair was especially fun. I also really enjoyed capturing the expression of the portrait.
I have a load of small boards and I can't wait to fill them up with more paintings.
Life drawing from the last term this year @edinburghatelieroffineart
This is carbon pencil and my first long pose life drawing I've done. I've loved my year at the Atelier and can't wait to be back again next year.
Just because I think this deserves a place on the grid as one of the most fun and difficult things I've done recently.
Decided to draw the cast while watching the @lostintranslationshow Edinburgh fringe show. So much fun, so much chaos. Highly recommend the show.
I don't sketch people in public so this was a major challenge but I'm pretty proud of myself for a first try.

Playing around with marker pens this morning. I've never really used them in this way to create a sort of enhanced realistic piece. I found them quite fun to work with once I got past the fact that I won't always be able to exactly replicate the colours I see with the markers I have. Plus because blending is not as easy as with paint I am forced to focus more on shapes and tones.

Testing out my new watercolour @etchr_lab sketchbook today. Have to say I'm loving how well it takes very wet mixes. Thinking I'll definitely be using this one for plein air escapades. Who else is planning to take part in plein air April?
