This is a sketch I started some weeks ago in pencil, which I decided to finish in pen and wash. It's only partially finished, but I quite like it that way. Although blue wasn't in my colour palette, from the photograph, there was a hint of blue, which I've emphasised and I feel compliments the other colours.
I like this little sketch which I've done in black and grey pens. I need to darken the right hand side a bit as it is in shadow, but don't want to over work it.
Below is an unfinished sketch. It is an abstract taken from part of a photo-montage I created a number of weeks ago. It's from a photograph I took in Castlefield. That's all for now, but I'll be uploading some more sketchbook work soon. this must be the shortest post I've done.

I am a new up and coming mixed media artist currently studying my 2nd year at Macclesfield College on Creative Arts for Employment Foundation Degree.
Since April this year I share a Studio Workshop and Gallery space in Macclesfield with three of the students that are on the same course. We are all quite diverse from one another; one specialising in textile and embroidery, and the three remaining artists have all created our own techniques in mixed media.
We will eventually have guest artists exhibiting their work and we'll also be doing workshops so that we can share our knowledge to all ages.
My work is primarily centered on natural forms such as abstract flowers, landscapes, seascapes and ceramic work that is both textural and with the feeling of movement.
Colour has a strong influence on me and this is reflected in my work mainly strong and bright or subtle, however the mood or subject dictates. When looking around me for inspiration colour is the first thing that has a major impact on me with texture a close second. Due to colours influence on me this is the first thing I consider when starting a new project and then I decide if I'm going to add texture to the canvas, paper or board. I use photography, watercolour, acrylic, mixed media, printing & ceramics as a means to translate what I see. Some of my work is representative yet I also like to experiment with small compositions & paint abstract images from them. I use a wide range of media from tissue paper to tile grout in my acrylic & printing work to add texture & depth; this makes my work both visual & tactile.
I have been commissioned paintings & I'm available for more work.
