Happy Christmas to all and a couple of artworks


 Fatso
8x10 inches
Coloured pencil and Gouache on watercolour paper
 
The Hidden Garden
8x10 inches
Watercoloured pencils, regular coloured pencil and Faber Castell pitt pens on Pastelbord
 
It's been quite a long time between blogs and most of the artworks I've been working on lately have been commissions for Christmas so can't be posted for a couple more weeks.
 
I have an article in the latest copy of Australian Artist entitled You Can Draw on Absolutely Anything which discusses just some of the many surfaces you can use with coloured pencils. You can see my High Tea pictured on the cover of the latest issue.
 
Fatso is a gift for my Sister-in-Law who was devastated when Fatso passed away unexpectedly last month and this was one of the last photos taken of him.
 
The Hidden Garden was done just for fun to try out some different combinations of media. It didn't work out quite the way I had planned but it was nice to try out different subject matter and materials.
 
Hopefully I can get back into some regular blogging over the next couple of months.
 
Wishing all of you a truly wonderful Christmas and a really happy year in 2013 :)

Commissioned Illustration - Bass

Bass
8x10 inches
Coloured pencils on drafting film
Something different this time which took me a little out of my comfort zone, being more used to doing creatures with fur than scales, but I always love to try something new. The client gave me the freedom to work in whichever medium I chose, and whilst I have really enjoyed painting lately, I find nothing beats the coloured pencil on drafting film for finer details. Apart from that, I haven't much to add, and hope everyone is having a wonderful week!!!! :)
