Dramatic Skies

Recently back from a Norfolk trip where I was treated to some spectacular skies. When painting skies I tend to take the William M Turner approach. Laying down bold brush strokes then building up the layers.

I often use soft pastels over the top to blend between the hard and soft shades of the clouds. This can be very effective.

Creative flow

As Summer draws to a close, on reflection it’s not my most creative time. I’m busy balancing other commitments. The start of Autumn signifies a shift for me back into full creative flow. More drawing trips to Norfolk, extended life drawing sessions and more studio time.

Norfolk Coast – Summer Break

Summer breaks on the coast are more about relaxing with family and friends.
I still like to pack a basic drawing set in my bag. Caught a few moments at
Wells-Next-The-Sea docks to do a quick sketch. I only had a few colours on me but as you can see this can be enough to capture the scene.

Summers Creativity

As this summer has been one of the hottest on record here in the UK I have been using these 3 hot colours. Cerise pink, orange and yellow. I love the intensity these bring.
