Fantastic model for online class with Royal Drawing School. I tend to panic when the tutor says you have 10 minutes with this pose! So decided to slow down & stick to one material - pencil. Meant i was more relaxed but got less down on the paper!

Finally finished this #collage, inspired by auriculas. It's taken me weeks to finish it, I was suprised that the 1st drawing I did of this plant was back in June! I do seem to 'sit' with drawings, ideas, developmemts & edits for quite a while before finishing anything!

Playing around with #monotype printmaking, trying to figure out layering with two plates, one for a blue swish & one for waterlily pads & flowers. Lots of fun! I like how quickly you can generate imagery.
