Saying goodbye to my crazy girl before flying to Sydney for a couple of months.
I’ll be spending time working on several new story ideas, organising events for the release of my picture book, Ollie and Augustus, and running a few workshops.
If your Sydney library or school is interested in a workshop then please contact Young Australia .
After a relaxing holiday in Sydney and the Blue Mountains I’m back in the studio refreshed and prepped for a creative 2018.
Kicking off the year with illustrations for The School Magazine.
Faber Castell pencil on Arches Hot Pressed.
Spent a relaxing two weeks in Newtown (Sydney) over New Year.
In between beach visits and cafes I took time out to sketch on the streets.
Whale song was painted for a children’s magazine. I’m lucky enough to live near to where these ocean giants swim.
Treehouses are awesome, right? I absolutely love drawing them. They’re something I’ll randomly created while lounging in a cafe over a long macchiato or in a bar with a glass of Merlot.
A few days ago I decided to record the process and share it. Enjoy.
This painting took so many layers of paint, unexpected alterations and random experimentation to get it right.
Still in love with the result.
Ever had an inkling to draw a balloon house? Okay, that’s a relatively specific interest, right? However, I happen to enjoy creating these fantasy homes and decided to share my procedure in creating a simple one. Enjoy.
The title says it all.
Art activities from my illustrative watercolour workshop this morning.
My next illustration workshop is happening at the Albany Summer School – January 15 – 19th. Enrolments are now open.
