Morning. I had a few requests as to where the online drawing demo I did during the depths of lockdown had disappeared: folk had tried to find it, but it seemed to have disappeared! Turns out that an expiry date had been applied to it(mistakenly) -this has now been rectified, and you can now access it via the link below.

Once you have a ticket, you then have lifetime access to the video, so you can follow along, pause it as you see fit, or rewind to listen again to my dulcet tones and erudite commentary. 🙂

Here’s the link:

…and here’s the finished drawing-with-colour

Regular readers might like to know that I’ve just uploaded a new video to my Youtube channel-it’s the second stage in a line drawing/watercolour demonstration. The first stage is/was a very quick and loose pen drawing, highlighting the different ways to achieve loose, lively lines- you can find that one on my channel too.

I’ll be finishing the series off with part three in a couple of days- this will be the fine tuning bit: using more pen lines to help differentiate between the various components in the scene. meanwhile, enjoy this new clip, and please, please do let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like me to demonstrate – we’re still a long way off resumption of ‘normal’ in-person workshops, so I have plenty of time to try out different techniques and methods, in between planning and writing a new Line and Wash ‘How to’ book…

oh, dear- did I say that out loud?

Here’s the video link.

In a shameless act of blatant marketing and self promotion, I’m delighted to announce that my 2021 calendars have just arrived from the printers and are now available to purchase on my Etsy shop:

I’ve had a few messages from folk that they have trouble navigating the Etsy site, so if you’re one of those, I’ll be more than happy to help-just send me an email- john@drawninyorkshire.com and we can do it that way.

Here’s a photo of the actual calendars-the eagle-eyed among you might spot that the cover design is slightly altered from the one I posted earlier….
