Buy original sketches

Sketches look great neatly framed - a direct personal connection with the artist’s hand, untouched by AI or photography. And an economical personal gift. All are signed original work, affordably priced (£40), unframed, ready to post or collect. Always popular at open studios, they are available here on a first come first served basis. I don’t list them individually in my shop, just follow my social media and contact me if you want one.

A wonderful gesture by Bianca Pavetti @lamounstrua from the @draw_brighton Patreon channel. One of the best things about using recorded life modelling sessions is not having to leave the house when the muse strikes, eg at 10.30pm! And being able to f

Been on an unscheduled journey with this birthing mother today. It all started with the quilt, so I moved her foot, which meant I could include a bit of the slumped man's legs. Then I cooled and lightened the background hills, tracked that along behi
