Sketchbook Work + WIP
Some sketchbook drawings I completed last year and just remembered to blog. The bottom one is a WIP (which will be available as a print in my Society6 shop, and I think the top one I am going to scan and colour in Illustrator, and also release that as a print.

Whilst there, we spent some time (so I could take photographs) in the three acre landscaped garden of her parents called Breachfield.

Renate’s journals’ are gorgeous to draw in, as she hand stains the paper and it gives it a lovely smooth surface and each page has a different hue and saturation.
