I've been drawing on Instagram live for the past few Wednesdays and really enjoying it. It's nice to interact with people that tune in. It's also getting me to switch things up with my drawings and cover a variety of genres.

I painted this mug last weekend. It was so much fun! I used a pattern I had created not long ago as inspiration. I'm hoping to experiment a bit more with ceramics.

Wabi Sabi? It's been a while since I thought about this beautiful philosophy. At college I did a project to try and capture wabi sabi through photography. The best way for me to describe wabi sabi is - everything is impermanent, imperfect and incomplete.

I loved setting up these little shots yesterday to promote my couple drawings! We don't have the brightest flat in our listed building so I went over to my sister's to take advantage of the light that floods into her living room. I asked my nephews to add a few logo bits in the shot for a splash of colour 🎨

I used to be scared of lighthouses until I started drawing them!

I loved painting this! Materials: Kuratake Gansai Tambi watercolours, Windor and Newton gouache and Polychromos pencils ❤

I've spent the day exploring new and old materials. I'm surprised how easy ink is to use and blend with and also just how much fun it can be! I'm definitely keen on exploring this material bit more 🎨
