Back to watercolour

I haven’t been using watercolour for over a year - I started using gouache and oil paint before the pandemic - and it’s nice to start using it again. Admittedly I was a bit rusty but I had fun with the medium. Gum tree These were painted in Studley Park where I met some friends …

Sketching in Port Melbourne

Princes Pier - the original piles that stretches out from the pier. The other pier in the background; my friend …

Exhibition at Gasworks

I participated in the Gasworks Paint out 2020 this weekend, painting on Saturday and Sunday.

It was also really good to so have some painting references to continue practising and painting at home. I went to …

Pleinair painting in Organ Pipes National Park

The interesting pipe-shaped rocks were formed by lava a million years ago. If you are curious about this place, follow this link. It’s a fantastic place to visit …

I found this post in my draft folder and have forgotten about it! It was a year ago and how quickly time has flown! My artist residency at Studio Kura finally came to an end after 2 months in Japan in June and July 2019. It was a wonderful and fruitful time. I had an …
