Some recent portraits painted on my IPad using Procreate. Sometimes it’s so nice to sit on my lovely soft chair with a drink, put my feet up and not worry about getting paint spots everywhere.

These were completed before the pandemic when I was still able to visit and paint in the gardens.
After breakfast gouache paintings
Hope you have all been well. I have had lots of time at home during this pandemic to try out a new media. I hadn’t spent much time using gouache in the past, and it’s fun to be able to challenge myself.
