• 'River Crossing'
  on Sep 21, 2011 in watercolour imaginary illustrations animals
   A more polished version of the previous 'river crossing' concepts. I'm still unsure whether I'll go with this style but it was fun to try something like this.

  on Sep 19, 2011 in memory drawing watercolour landscapes
  Inspired by some recents visits to a place called Marburg. My personal view of observation is that sometimes it's best used through the filter of memory. I think we somehow distill what was important to us in the subject when we recall it from past o...
• New project
  on Sep 14, 2011 in concept art watercolour imaginary illustrations animals
  Here's some concept art for a new project I've started on. The fox concepts were some early ideas which I think I'll change, and the top two images were just figuring out a composition and working out a technique to use. I didn't really like the blac...

  on Sep 9, 2011 in pen drawing people watercolour animals
  Here are some photos and doodles from my first 2 days at a festival for children's literature. I don't generally like drawing in front of people, but the kids were very enthusiastic and made it unexpectedly enjoyable for me.

• Urban landscape studies II
  on Jul 5, 2011 in mood piece watercolour landscapes
  It's refreshing to be using lots of colour, and these mini compositions really are a joy to play around with.
• Urban landscape studies
  on Jul 4, 2011 in mood piece watercolour landscapes
  These quick mini-studies were a lot of fun to paint. These two were my favourites. They are interpretations from memory of familiar places around my city. I was exploring colour, space (or depth), and composition. Size is about 5x6 inches. Next, the...
• Frollo Brooding II
  on Jun 29, 2011 in mood piece people watercolour illustrations
  I thought I'd try a closer view here. As a composition the previous post was more in line with my original idea. I had in mind a long shot with Frollo coming more towards us. Only his face and a few spots here and there were going to be illuminated.
