I recently attended a sketching event organised by one of our local Urban Sketchers. It's quite a while since I have done any figure drawing and it took a fair few poses before I settled in. I found the full length poses difficult to capture in the time frame, so decided to concentrate on the head and shoulders.

Textile

| Painted and hand stitched on cotton sheeting approx 17 x 17 cm (7" x 7") |
Another slow-stitch project. I am not sure whether I will finish this piece with binding or frame it behind a mount.

| Poppies - acrylic inks - 17 x 12 cm |
Aside from using my sketchbooks and preparing foldbook samples for a recent workshop I led for our local art group, I have done very little painting of late. However, I managed to finish a couple of small acrylics on paper for an exhibition earlier this month. Still attempting to go bolder and looser - and a reminder to self to keep up the momentum!

A few sketches from recent months
All these sketches are from my current watercolour book (approximately 5" square), mostly using a Pilot G-tech-C4 water soluble brown pen, some with watercolour added.
