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

Drawings created predominantly with coloured pencils, sometimes with other art products added in (such as an acrylic marker pen) for detailling, like with the sea foam in the beach drawing.
