While listening to a concert on Saturday night I felt compelled to sketch at the same time. I didn’t have any art paper, however the programme and a borrowed pen came to my rescue. Lovely to sketch to the rhythm of the music.

I found these two wooden rabbits while out shopping and thought I might like to do a drawing of them. I used three different colours of conte crayons in this sketch and charcoal.

This drawing was done at my life drawing class at Dundee College.  I have only just got into using coloured pencils. I really enjoy using them however it does take some time to do a drawing of this size. The colours need to be built up slowly. Luckily we had an excellent model who hardly blinked while the class were drawing.

Today I was looking out the window and noticed how nice the snowdrops looked behind the sleeping cat ornament. I sat outside and did this study with the birds chirping in the background. It was a lovely spring day, the gardening will have to wait!

This is a detail from a larger painting I have been working on. The inspiration for this painting was a result of visiting with the campervan.  We camped on Mull and did a day trip to Iona. What a beautiful place.

This was a little watercolour study I did of our Volkswagen campervan. Andrew my husband is the figure in the van reading. We love our Volkswagen very much and last summer we managed a trip to Mull and Ardnamurchan, it was a great adventure. Some of the camping sites had amazing panoramic views, I got lots of inspiration and outdoor painting opportunities. Can’t wait until the next trip.

This little rabbit is a charity shop find that I rescued. I enjoyed painting this on a red shiny tray.

During this painting I was wondering what to do with the lemons afterwards. Finished the painting today and ended up making a lemon drizzle cake.
