Here I share some sketches or rough drafts to demonstrate my ideas and practice…

The sketches in this collection are mostly in graphite pencil, with a few in oil pastel, soft pastel or acrylic paints.

Some are concepts that took 5-10 minutes, others are more finished sketches that took 3-4 hours. I value even the most ‘rough and ready’ artwork, because it conveys emotion, meaning and energy as much as ‘finished’ pieces. These sketches form part of a story - like footprints in the creative journey of the artist.

If you see an idea sketched out here, that you are interested in me developing to a more finished piece for you, let me know via the contact page ♡
