Studio visit - look at what I'm up to

As I've been feeling a bit exhausted I decided to give myself some play time. I've been making colour wheels with all my watercolours. I used unusual colours as primaries on the page you can see and really enjoyed the way the colours mixed. It's all practice !

In the second image you can see a few more of my sketchbooks with works in progress.

I've been playing with my new toy, an intuos creative stylus which is a pressure sensitive tool. So the harder I press on the iPad screen the denser or the bigger the line. It's interesting. I'm going to have to think differently about how I draw. I've been so used to not having that on the iPad. So here's the first little experiment.

 

Not a circular - iPad painting
