Quick evolution of my drawing of leaves! This one pencil on cartridge paper (1986), previous leaf on drafting film, before that watercolour on Arches smooth paper and finally a Procreate drawing on an iPad (3rd Gen.) Now I have an iPad pro 12.9”, working on some new stuff πŸ˜ƒπŸŽ¨

Just loving my new iPad pro. I got the 12.9” version and finding it a joy to work on, both fast and great to draw on (feels like cheating) but I think a stylus on a digital device is just an evolution of an artist’s medium. Love the pointer, feels instantly natural. 🎨

🎨 Been seeing the Buzzard regularly on my morning walks, and with the overnight snow, thought it would make a suitable subject for a daily painting. Acrylic on Dibond panel 150 x 180 mm

🎨 Starting today, auctions of small paintings done within a day - Daily Paintings - something I have wanted to do for a while now, but looking forward to the discipline of it.

I’ve termed them my β€œGlimpses” not only of wildlife and moments in time, but also glimpses into future larger paintings.
