New page in my new sketchbook. This drawing was worked over three (four?) evenings. Micron pen marks layered to build depth and detail . Taking inspiration from photos of the quarry trees at Belsay Hall. I will have to visit them again soon.
.
Hopefully I will have more than sketchbook work to share soon! I am back in the studio tomorrow and can't wait.

Newly finished evening journal page. Acrylic ink, ballpoint pen and traditional gouache paint. Drawing from photos of a visit to Tynemouth Priory. It's a joy to get lost in the process and detail in this mindful practice of evening writing drawing and painting.

I started a new sketchbook week before last. Thank goodness for sketchbooks in the time I have been away from the studio. This is a new woodland one. Working from photos right now but I will also be taking it on woodland walks with me. The last book was simple pencil on paper, this one will be dedicated to ink - super transportable micron pens. First page here.

In this post lies a hint to a new ecourse currently in the works ..... It's been a while since the last one!

More journal work. I feel so drawn to detail when I am working in this book. It is a way to record places I have been, garden delights and versions of inspiring images. I am just about to go in with Gouache. Sometimes I want to leave them just as is, in pen, but the process of adding colour is both a challenge and a contemplative practice.

This is the Priory at Tynemouth which we have visited a few times and will always go back to. I love where we live for its spectacular scenery and abundance of historical buildings. You just can't beat Northumberland for a bit of ruined stonework!
