So, my comfort zone is usually with a ruling pen in my hand, and some clearly drawn lines on a sheet of paper…however, during the process of creating some ‘softer’ images for The Breast Cancer Unit notecards( I’ve created 4 more images which are being assessed as i write!!!), I discovered I actually really like the feeling of just doing colour washes, and fighting my every instinct to define the colour with a black (or sepia ink) line, I’m learning to leave them alone and let the results breathe a little, and trust they’ll work!

Here’s just one of the sketches…the rest are on my Flickr page..and for some reason, I think these are all reminiscent of coastal scenes!
