Welcome



“It is in the order to really see, to see ever deeper, ever more intensely, hence to be fully aware and alive, that I draw what the Chinese call ‘The Ten Thousand Things’ around me. Drawing is the discipline by which I constantly rediscover the world.

I have learned that what I have not drawn, I have never really seen, and that when I start drawing an ordinary thing, I realize how extraordinary it is”.

(Frederick Franck, ‘The Zen of Seeing’).

146 - Cragside Hall


A pencil drawing of Cragside Hall in Northumberland. I feel that I rediscovered my love for the pencil on this one, it's not great up close but from a distance I think it's quite pleasing to the eye. The original was drawn quite small and on relatively cheap paper so it wasn't ideal, but I'm still pleased with the overall result.

86. A farm near Iveston


My intention was to try a pen and wash sketch but the weather turned nasty, and so did a rather large and mean looking bull!

77-The Gill Bridge

This wasn't the best of efforts to start with but looks worse for adding water colour for tone. Water and pen don't mix too good, still.. all part of the learning process.
