Here is my first drawing of 2025. This cute Dalmatian Puppy. I’m in love with him or her. My inner critic partway through the drawing as always said, “you can’t do this, it looks awful” I find it so hard to not listen to that inner critic but I just stop and walk away and …
I just love seeing and drawing red robins. I have a couple that visit my bird table. I always smile when I see them. As they say when you see a red robin a loved one is near. I always seem to look up and see them when I really need to. This lovely drawing …
I am way behind with updating my website. I have a few drawings to add up so you can see my progress. In October I did finish my black cat, but I’m struggling to get the whiskers on him/her. I don’t think I have enough layers on the paper to be able to use the …
Here is the 3rd project I wanted to start this week. I just had to have a go at this one. It is so good to learn how each teacher puts their layers down on certain papers. This is how I will build up my own style. Combining different colour layering techniques my own way. …

I have started one of the 3 portraits I want to do last night. I chose the Sunflower with guidance following the tutorial by Shannon Mullins from her Patreon. Sunflowers are one of my favourite flowers, I just love the yellow and orange colours. Here is part 1 that I drew last night. I am …
I have drawn this pygmy goat in one single coloured pencil. Faber Castell Black, with the guidance tutorial by Teresa Joy Fine Art. I have to say I didn’t fully enjoy this one, why I’m not sure, I so nearly walked away from it, which in turn would have put me off doing my daily …
I am continuing on my progression of learning more about colours and layers for ginger cats. In preparation for doing Inga or Thor one of my ginger cats.
