Sea Turtle...and Peppa Pig. This drawing was a gift for a friend of mine who loves Peppa. When I gave it to her, she saw Peppa after looking for only about three seconds. I couldn't believe it.

Here are some figure drawing images from last year that I think turned out well. These are all quickish poses, 20 mins max.

Gouache, ink and gold acrylic paint :)

Today’s urban sketching effort. I tried to capture light coming through windows at St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh. Posca markers, brush pens and water soluble pencil on brown A4

Lulu and her turtle

I love the flow and painterly look to artists like @loisvb and @pernilleoerum so this doodle is inspired by them. Love these brushes by @jingsketch !!

A place in the sun

A drawing of what the elders frightened us as children

This was for a Kinokuniya tote bag contest but it was inspired by a whole host of things. I have included some of my favorite book characters in the doodle as well as some folklores from Japan and China. Can you recognize them and the book characters?

It's National Toasted Marshmallow Day so this painting seems fitting. What do you think will happen to this guy? About 14 x 14 inches, acrylic on wood board. Sorry not the best photograph.

This 'mallow stares back at the fire, its enemy that burns but also brings light and warmth. About 8x8 inches acrylic on wood.

Another painting I made, of a parc near my home.

This is the last ink drawing I did before moving abroad for a few months and going off of drawing completely. Hoping to get back into it now though!

Digital.... Sunset over water... An old woman arrives here in memory of her fallen son.

Early morning camping trip! This week I've *resurrected* my instagram. It's @gouacheandink or https://www.instagram.com/gouacheandink/ Hope you all have a happy 4th of July :)

After a stormy afternoon in downtown Miami the reflections are out. A feast for my eyes

Watercolor and India Ink on Yupo paper. If there is any single way to let go of detail and think simply, it is by using watercolor on Yupo paper. You basically have to surrender control and just see what happens.

I made a collage of my favourite tree, a baobab, using postage stamps. The wild dog puppy seemed to creep in from somewhere!

Bee friendly plants you can cultivate, protect or care if you see them anywhere. There are many native flowers, herbs, vegetables and fruit trees that help pollination, the ideal is to grow species free of agrochemicals and pesticides.

It's spring and the cows are happy.

Flower clippings

That was a sketch a I made with graphitepencils, took me a time to get those beautiful eyes right :D

'Other Side II. Sneak Peak' , Sketchbook 2019, Coffee and ink

Here is a pencil drawing of actress Charlize Theron. I used Cold Greys and black from the Faber Castell Polychroms range of color pencils on Strathmore Bristol Smooth (series 300) paper. Many thanks for looking

Beer Label design incorporating lots of local facts/things to do with the area it's brewed in. Sailing, windsurfing, big lake, spitfire plane, invading shrimps, highland cattle, sunken church, snakes, beer swilling octopus (ok I made that one up).

These are a few random pieces from the last few weeks.

Ink and acrylic on wood.
