Why green? was a question put by one of my peers towards my paintings. At first I thought nothing of it, but then, I realised that I myself want to know why green and what does green hide in different […]

I looked through my sketchbooks from Saturday and remembered the people I drew. I leave it a day to revisit my work. Paul Hogarth wouldn’t look at his drawings for three days after making them. A good practice, I think. […]

It’s nearly time for the upcoming Bishops Stortford Art Society Exhibition, we are setting up tomorrow morning and opening on Tuesday. This painting “A Whispered Promise” is now ready and prepped for the event, we hope to see some of […]

The latest online life drawing session run by Gary Long at the School of Painting, St Ives was a real treat! The model was dressed and posed in the style of some of Egon Schiele’s clothed models, a true privilege. Gary Long introduced me […]

Working in abstraction often makes meaning more difficult to explain in terms of its literal presentation, use of material, and the representation of ‘something’. These challenges, coupled with the limits of human perception, are fascinating and this project seeks to […]

One major piece of feedback that I have had from my tutorials, has all been to get everything that’s in my head about my project (all of my tasks, people to talk to etc) onto paper, so I have finally […]

I made a long journey over these last few days and my drawing was, inevitably, restricted to the faces and bodies that shared those brief pitstops at motorways services with me. They are bleak places, particularly in the early mornings. […]

Looking at sea glass and pebbles and wondering whether to experiment with something that changes quicker into another form. If we look at sea glass and pebbles they get worn down over a long period of time but with leaves, […]

I am very conscious of the fact that all of my drawings take a very long time to complete, due to the highly detailed nature of them, and that my output of work does need to increase somewhat, if I […]

I think its Beech Trees that have this burnt orange glow that produces an immersive overall effect that is very powerful. I have been walking in the woods a lot recently with the colours getting richer by the day, where […]

On the 3rd of November, I had the chance to have a tutorial with an artist Ann-Marie James. The possibility to have a tutorial with another artist than my lecturers was really helpful as getting a fresh view on my […]

Cool water. Reflective, impenetrable. It reluctantly catches the limpid light. But I can still feel the cold seeping, creeping. The rats. They gather together by the banks. Trembling amongst the paper cups and crisp packets. Sheltered from the damp of […]
