Sketchbook
The idea of this sketchbook page is to give a taste of how my sketches turn into full blown paintings within the sketchbook. It doesn't matter how hard I try, I always feel that I need to finish the drawing. One day I will manage to use my sketchbook for rough sketches and ideas.

Following a visit to the Cardiff Museum, I came across a sculpture by
David Nash, which I sketched. In the same room were Welsh artists, some unknown with paintings of the Welsh mountains, on my train ride home, I started to doodle with watercolours and came up with this mixture of sculpture and Welsh mountains. The sculpture reminded me of a ploughed field. |

This cottage really struck me after seeing it in a magazine, I added my own tweaks and colours but it was really fun to produce. I think this one might just make it to a canvas after all.
