This is Bude, where I live and is the place I love, well it is not exactly Bude, it is an amalgamation of Bude. I have spent the last week or so working on this design, gathering all the ideas of what to put in and what to leave out. Unusually for me this is half digital, I drew everything out in black and white, chose a few areas to be solid black and then added the colour digitally so that I could play about with it until I had what I wanted.
Today’s painting is of a heron, they are so calm and stately. We have one that flies across our garden, usually followed by crows trying to chase him off. He takes no notice at all, just continues to sail by.
Dancing beavers today, and why not.
A still life today, a watercolour of an Autumn flower arrangement in a vase.
Today it is another from the Hedgerow poem by Don Moore, ‘Pan sitting in an Elder bush’. This is part one of a series of four watercolours.
Sketchbook people. This is a mix of drawings from my sketchbooks, some are from life drawing, some are from photos trying to work out angles and positions. Others are from when I was trying to get the hang of how Bruegel painted his characters.
Today’s painting is of Godrevy lighthouse in St Ives Bay, Cornwall.
This is time It is a watercolour and ink painting of bulrushes.
Watercolour paint and pencils today. This is a little corner of Mousehole, a fishing village way down on the end of Cornwall not far from Penzance.
Here is my mouse at the start of his adventures.
