Sketches
Final composition sketch before painting started (complimentary with the diptych above)
English Longhorn cows drawn from life at Knepp. Both images feature in the diptych.
Studies
My first observations of beetles, under the guidance of Rhian Rowson at Bristol museum. I grappled with their anatomy, practiced drawing through microscopes, and explored ways to describe iridescence.
Molluscs
These drawings explore the surface anatomy, texture and behaviour of molluscs in my garden. They address our social conditioning around the natural world. Having these selected by jury for exhibition at The Mall Galleries (London) initiated my links with The Society of Wildlife Artists.
SWLA generously sponsored the Dungscape project with The Natural Eye bursary award.
