Light
Today I tried painting light. Inspiration, Helen Craig, who illustrates Angelina Ballerina. It really isn't easy to get a glow and I guess I'll be slogging away at this for some time...

Bathroom
Another copy of a bathroom, this time from the illustrations of Joelle Dreidemy. I love his offbeat, wiggly line work. Copying allows me to see how to shade, how to blend colours and work on perspective without actually reading a how-to book.

Practice
I love the art of Allan Ahlberg and own several of his illustrated books, including the Jolly Pocket Postman series because one is just not enough. This is a copy of a row of toilet sinks from "Starting school". I always look at something and think, oh that looks easy, until I actually try drawing it out!
