Back at the Atelier working on my master copy in carbon. Just getting those shadows all blocked in.

Working on the shadow block in of my master copy. This will eventually be rendered in either charcoal or carbon pencil.

Excited to get rendering!

Stage 1 of my second Bargue done, now to transfer it to some good quality paper and start rendering.

Love the colour and the design.

More in progress work from the Edinburgh Atelier of Fine Art. Really feel like this piece is coming along, lots of shape work but rewarding to see it progressing.

Thank you, I was inspired by a book called "The Guerilla Art Kit" by Keri Smith. I did put my Instagram handle on it because if someone does pick it up it would be fun to know where it ended up but also no guarantee I'll ever know where it finds a home.

Planning on doing many more around Leith

That's the goal, to spread some art and joy during trying times.

The distressing case of the missing duckling

Putting my first post-it painting out in the wild for someone to find.

If you are in #Edinburgh #leith see if you can find it!

Been absent because I've started attending my local atelier. Here is my first Bargue study. Getting the shading done was demanding, I've never had to keep a pencil so sharp, but the results are worth it.

Frog sketch in green ink. The frog has some pond weed stuck to its skin.

Just a little froggy dude to begin my week studying amphibians.

Digital painting of John McClane from the die hard movie. "Now I have a machine gun" is written over the bottom half of the painting in red.

Honestly this was just a bit of fun to stretch those #digital art muscles. 4 hours well spent.

Hey blue-sky, I make pasties for #poledance, #caberat, and #burlesque. I started making them this year when I couldn't find the yoda pasties I was looking for, for a star wars pole routine. I make them custom to order.

A graphite drawing of two apples on some drapped fabric. The light is coming from the top left.

Working on some shadow and light practice.

A watercolour painting of two puffins looking at eachother on a rock. There is an out of focus wave crashing in the background. The sun is casting shadows to the left side in the painting.

Painting puffins in watercolour, I have yet to see puffins in person but I'm hoping I get to see some next year.

A double page spread of the sketchbook showing a watercolour of a fallen tree which is still growing leaves. The leaves are shades of red, orange, yellow and green. They are contrasted but a dark green and blue background.

Had fun painting the autumn colours at the Edinburgh botanical gardens earlier in October.

Went on a lovely holiday to the isle of Arran and managed to get some plein air painting done in between rain showers and much hiking.

Painting of the dance scene between Jareth and Sarah from the Labyrinth. The painting is done in gouache and watercolour. Sarah is looking at Jareth. She is wearing a white dress with an iridescent sheen. Jareth is wearing a embroidered dark coat with a white ruffle collated shirt underneath.

It's been a minute. Have a gouache colour study of a labyrinth scene in penance.

Gouache painting of three blue and white rusted cranes against a pale blue sky with some large fluffy clouds. The foreground shows several small green trees

I've been annoyingly ill recently but I finally felt better enough to go outside and do some pleinair painting. #painting #gouache #pleinair #art

Honestly I'd like to be able to sell some of my art so people can enjoy it and I'd like to get to a place where I feel I can consistently train it.

Bat, but make it fancy.

This is such a cute idea!

Thank you! I really hope you enjoy your DnD session, I absolutely love it. So much space for creativity 🥰

More progress on my snow leopard cubs. Extraordinarily busy at work at the moment so sketching when I can.

That would be great! Thank you :)

Sketching inbetween work meeting this morning. It's difficult being an artist when you have a full time job to find the time and energy to create, so you have to take any opportunity you get.

Went out urban sketching today with Edinburghs Urban Sketchers and did a gouache study of the makers market in Stockbridge.

Something cute I'm working on tonight.

A digital artwork of a tiger in dappled sunlight walking through a dark river.

Sometimes I dabble in digital artwork. Whenever I trial a new medium I always default to drawing animals.

Work in progress painting of a scene from jurassic park where the T-rex is roaring while the "when dinosaurs ruled the earth" banner is falling from the ceiling inside the visitors lodge. The underpinning is in bright orange. The banner is painted and the t-rex is blocked in with some background elements also blocked in.

WIP on my movie sketchbook series. Not hard to guess where this scene is from.
