So, at last I have a new website. I’ve spent the last few days on this and not much else, I’ve been wanting something a little more managable for quite a while and took time out of what I was doing to (finally) make sure I represented myself and my art properly. Here’s the link:
Feel free to let me know what you think….
As an illustrator, I colour my art mostly via the PC, mostly due to the fact that it’s a much quicker medium and I have so much more control over the finished look of the art (most illustrators will agree that it’s a nightmare when a book comes back and the colours have been mercilessly altered). That said, I have another side to my character…fine art. I’m an avid student, wishing to learn as much as I can about the subtle nuances of any medium I happen to be interested in… (which is most mediums. I paint in oils, acrylics, gouache, watercolour… pen and ink, graphite (etcetc)). Watercolour, for me, holds such a mystique about it, and, if I were to be totally honest, it’s just about the only medium where I’m 100% happy on the ‘ journey’ to a finished piece of art. I bought a new travel set of Pebeo (French manufacturer) watercolours last week and received them yesterday, this is the little sketch I did last night- taking approx 2 hours.
What an incredible sight from my house last night. The sky was alight with these glorious colours. These pics are straight from my camera, no photoshopping whatsoever. We’re so lucky to be living in this world.
