Illustration Friday: 'Wrapped'

-
Hello! I've not been here for a while have I? Here's this week's Illustration Friday drawing for 'wrapped' and below I'll show you what I've been up to...
We spent a week at my favourite place in the world...St Ives! Here I am with two of my daughters near Mermaid Cove in Zennor. It truly is a stunning place and covered in beautiful heather (even though you can't see it from this picture!)


I didn't find time to draw as much as I usually do when I'm home, so felt a bit rusty when I did eventually get the sketchbook out!

















This last one is a bit random but I thought I'd show it anyway!

Hi Ruthie, that's very early compared to here isn't it? We've got until September so it still feels like the middle of summer at the moment to me!

What a lovely way to remember your holiday - I imagine the images you drew whilst away will have as strong memories attached to them as the photo's you took.

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
