This painting was done with a palette knife on a textured ground. I finished it by applying soft pastel. In Barra there are so many lovely quaint cottages to be seen.

Dressed For The Party,Mixed Media
When looking at a piece of watercolour paper which had washes of watercolour and acrylic ink on it. I got inspiration to do this painting. Some of the washes show through on the final painting. I used goauche to bring out the figure and followed this with conte crayons and finally some soft pastel.
Forest Walk, Mixed Media
I started with a watercolour wash on Bristol paper. Then I decided to add some oil pastel to build up the colours and tones of this study.
Broughty Ferry Gulls, Mixed Media
After going to the framers in Broughty Ferry I did some sketches by the waterfront. As the sun was starting to set the wind seemed to be getting stronger and the gulls were getting blown about. I did the sketch with neocolour watersoluble crayons then added water when I got home. Once that dried I added oil pastels to bring out some of the lights and darks.
Flower Pots On Steps, Mixed Media
Lovely sunny morning today. I started the day with breakfast outside. While I was eating I noticed how interesting the light looked shining on the pots on the steps that lead up into the garden. Once I had finished breakfast I started my study.

Since visiting Culzean Castle and doing the cliff top walk. I have since had this view in my mind. The bluebells were amazing there and the colour of the sea glimpsed between the trees made a lovely scene.

I have been attending life drawing classes at Dundee College. Tonight the model was Anya and we were working fast and using charcoal, conte, ink and soft pastel. Good fun.

Set up a little still life with objects from around the house. I really like the shape of the modern Habitat tea pot and the tea towel is a favourite.
