Art-making is always a bumpy road - some days are good and some are not so good. This week, I’m working on a piece that got off to a bad start - the drawing was wrong and the composition didn’t work. But once those issues were fixed, this one took on a whole new direction and I loved what happened. Come and follow along as this piece goes from hesitant drawing to stunning finished piece - something I couldn’t have imagined at the start.
I’ll also share some Spring blossoms, some reflections on my home, and the all-important Riley shots.
🎨 The Artist’s Diary is my ongoing vlog series about life as an artist in the north of England — the experiments, the hard bits, the surprises, and the honest reality of making art day after day.
