And some colour too!

I thought it was about time I experimented with using colour - so I chose to try and capture the most colourful object in the house........our jukebox!!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Four consecutive days of heavy snow fall meant I could not get to Cambridge this week:(









I had fun trying to capture the snowy scenes in my sketchbook instead! Here are some of the better attempts, and a few from Costa Coffee too...

Botanical Gardens - on a cold, cold day!

General observations of people engaging in various activities...

JoJo!

JoJo (my little nephew Joseph) has become a main focus of my studies over the last few months. He is such fun to draw but also quite difficult - always bouncing around and never sitting still for more than a second!









I had difficulty getting the proportions correct initially (he is only 2 and a half but looks about 8 yrs old in some of my earlier sketches) but I think they have got a tiny bit better as I progressed....
