A photo of four wooden discs with holes in them. Each disc has a gouache painting of each of the following animals: One of a very small chameleon. "Theresa" Another of a young black and white sheep looking at the viewer. "Hamish" Another of three small brown and white striped mice sat in a row looking at the photographer. "Snap", "Crackle" and "Pop" The last a pair of mandarin ducks with the male in full breeding colours; lots of red, orange, white and green. "Tango" and “Clementine”

Gouache is more relaxing than watercolours, but then I tend to get a bit more hung up on making things look perfect.

Last year I wanted to experiment by painting some of the animals at work on some wood discs!

Photo of a watercolour painting of a shoebill stork, in green and blue with splatters and drips of paint around it.

You know what, this deserves a post all on it's own.
This is possibly one of my favourite of my splatter watercolours! ❤️ Do you agree? Or do you have a different favourite?
This gorgeous bird is a shoebill, and they are super cool!

Dang I love hornbills and cranes

I really need to do more ball-point pen drawings again, these were from around 2019.

Throwback to when I did some ball-point pen drawings of a mix of bird species.

I've been busy at work lately with an aquatics conference, and being tasked with planning how we stock ~800L of fresh + marine tanks in the near future!

(Yes, we will be getting more clownfish)

When I first started these line drawings, it actually was a bit of an experiment as I hadn't tried illustrations in this style before, but I love how they turned out.

Photo of an A5 watercolour painting of a linoleated/barred parakeet in shades of yellow, hanging upside down comically.

A unique trait of linnies is their tendency to just hang upside down or sideways.

Photo of a painting of a barred/lineolated parakeet, a small round-looking parrot with big eyes. This painting shows just the head, neck, and upper back of the bird. The painting is only in shades of a dusty blue, with black pen used for details, and white ink speckles over the top.

I have well-and-truly fallen in love with lineolated parakeets.

Photo of a watercolour painting on A5 paper of a linneolated parakeet perched on a branch, leaning forwards with it's beak open. It is painted in a cool grey tone, with black and white ink for details.

Lineolated parakeets are one of the quieter species in the parrot family that people keep as pets- Although they're still capable of some loud beeps, especially when they hear other birds.
