I am finally utilizing my website to its full potential and beginning on my journey of blogging!
Let me introduce my newest member to my art materials and studio, my new "Comic Master Tracer LED".
This is the first time I have used a lightbox.....I am a little old fashioned and usually hold up my artwork to a window to trace......this lightbox is definitely easier and more efficient!
This week I am planning and working on the image I will be using on the 7th August, when "Colour In Your Life" come to my studio and films me drawing/painting for a day, for an episode in this fantastic TV series. This is a very exciting time for me and an invaluable chance for me to share my work with a much larger audience.
I am excited and apprehensive and nervous at the same time. I call myself a very private artist, not liking anyone to be watching over me when I am drawing. I work best in a quiet studio with no interruptions! Having a film crew surrounding me and being interviewed at the same time is rather daunting and a little out of my comfort zone. However I am willing to challenge myself!

I have decided to draw an image that came to me one very early morning(2am!) a couple of weeks ago. I love drawing animals/birds and I have created a scene for this animal menagerie that encompasses a few techniques with pen and ink and watercolour paint.
