'Bones of the Land' Drawing Masterclass continues
So the 'Bones of the Land' masterclass on to developing some sketching and drawing after venturing outside on a cold but dry winter's day for inspiration. Enjoying working with black Chinese ink and brushes, being mindful of my marks. Tried to choose a subject that I wouldn't normally go for.

Day 1 : 'Bones of the Land' Workshop
Part of the first day was taking a train ride to Perth with the intention of creating a small blind acetate sketch and speed sketching with a larger piece of acetate & black permanent pen capturing lines and textures, details. A wee stop off at Perth station and was delighted to see a wonderful sky roof that emulated the rhythm of the workshop.

'Bones of the Land' Workshop Ladybank
So pleased that I went to the 2 day advanced drawing masterclass workshop with the wonderful artist Kate Downie. 'Bones of the Land' allowed us to develop printmaking, mark-making and drawing approaches in response to the surrounding Scottish countryside in winter. Been a long time since I've developed work in a sketchbook and I attended with a bit of trepidation but I was so pleased I did go! The whole point was to take me out of my comfort zone and for me to work with new materials and techniques. I'll be posting pics over the next few days.

OLD SCHOOL TATTOOS ART COMMISSION
Happy New Year everyone, I have been neglecting my blog for quite some time so am about to rectify that by starting with my very last commission of 2015. And suddenly I had another skull artwork to create just after completing my very first one - what a coincidence! Her's the artwork before it went into it's frame - I enjoyed working with this as I've been thinking about working three dimensionally for a wee while now. The client wanted the skull raised off the background. And now on to 2016 wishing you all health, wealth and happiness and lots of creativity!!
