Despite good intentions I've had less time spent at my drawing and painting than I'd intended for the last couple of years. It's not that I haven't done any work - I've been questioning the approach I've been taking and changing my working methods.
I'm determined to use photography less and to draw more, developing ideas through a series of drawings, before starting on a painting. A large part of this process has been driven by Life Drawing, both my own weekly practice at local drawing classes and through tutoring a class several times a term at the Eccleshall Library.
So here are some recent drawings, including drawings in colour. (I've been really enjoying working with high quality Unison soft pastels.)
