Pet Portraits

Lately I've been working on some pet portraits. So far the orders have mainly been cats but I would like to branch out to dogs or other pets too!

Pokemon Crazy

Pokémon Go has fully revived the Pokémon hype- or it did momentarily. I feel like I'm revisiting my childhood. Loving it! Here are some Pokémon inspired creations...

Just for fun- Watercolours

Birthday card I made for my brother. Eevee is one of my faves!

Messing around with plasticine. Happy birthday bro!  

Watercolour Summer Projects

I'm back to school on Monday (primary school teacher) and I feel a little overwhelmed at the thought of the workload about to explode into my life! However, I have thoroughly enjoyed my six weeks off (can't complain) and feel ready to embrace the school routine (mostly...)! New class, second year of teaching, bring it on! Here are some drawings I did over the summer...

Been loving watercolour paints recently!

PanPastel Sketch

Since September my life has been taken over by my Primary PGCE course... but every now and then I need to paint/sketch/ANYTHING ART RELATED to feel like I've not lost myself completely in all this chaos. My time is not my own and I have zero social life.... but I do have a pussy cat.

Hand Carved Wooden Hearts

Finally finished my wooden hearts :) I have hung them with wool and string and loved making them.
I painted them and then carved back into them with the circular sander to reveal the grain of the wood, then varnished them.

Drawing Kitty Attempt #2

Hello!

The last time I tried to capture my little kitty in PanPastels and chalk as she ran around the room like a sugar crazed zombie, attacking me and everything else... the results weren't great but it was good fun! This time I worked from a photograph using the same medium and I am much happier with the results! Though it kind of feels like a kitty yearbook photo... bit too smiley maybe?!
