I did this quick sketch on the train back from Edinburgh. If you make a drawing you always remember so much more than if you had photographed the subject. I used a permanent ink pen and 3 neutral coloured brush pens.

Caroline Life Drawing, Conte
I used conte building up the tones in warm and cool colours. We were studying the style of other paintings at the life drawing class I attend. Caroline was done in the style of Degas’ bathing paintings.
Fields Of Snow Forgan, Pastel
This is a study I did in preparation for the class I am taking at St Andrews Art Club. The first two weeks we will be concentrating on doing tonal paintings. The snow covered ground we have had lately has been a great source of inspiration. On days it was too cold to paint outside, my camera came to the rescue. The drawing for this painting was done with charcoal. The number of pastels used were only about five.
Aqua Sea and Pink Sky, Mixed Media
This painting is mainly done in Gouache with some pastel on top. I love the glimpses of crofts as you travelled on the roads in Barra.
