Digital art

The way I create digital art is predominantly from an app on my iPad now. As with my other art, I definitely seem to have got into a habit of drawing trees... I wasn't kidding on the homepage! Trees and water, the sea or a lake are my absolute go-to right now. On the left is a house I drew from my Cedarbee Island series, as is the hut by the beach on the right.


Acrylic & mixed media art

A couple of years ago I started decorating wood slices with acrylic pens. The beach hut design on the left is one of my all time favourites, it was one of the first designs I did. I feel it's almost like a glass has been placed in front of it to give it a sort of spherical appearance. The middle mini canvas painting was actually supposed to be the other way up until I realised, oh it works better this way, then I added the fence and birds. The one on the right is a mixed media piece created using brush pens to draw the tree then I added a watercolour background.


Watercolour art

When I started creating watercolour art a few years ago it really enabled me to dive into something other than digital art. A lot of the time I draw from my imagination but I drew the leaf from a real leaf I found in the garden.


Pencil drawings

A goal of mine this year has been to create more realistic looking art and I've got really into pencil drawing recently.
