I love the exercise where you paint a sky and then cut dark silhouettes in front and this sunset at the heart of Bali rock formation was a perfect application of that style.

Done on a boat watching this very sunset using a brush pen and Payne's Grey.

These were either .pen Carbon Ink or Brush Pen on toned paper with a bit of payne's grey watercolour

Roofs and trees looking down my road.

A view I'm very familiar with so something I wanted to capture.

Took a picture outside as daylight is apparently the best lighting.

Croatia 2026. Joined a group of strangers to visit Split.

I did a few sketches while I was there. I claim no artistry in what I do but I do enjoy creating these little assorted snapshots. And the act of creating these reminded me what a success it is just to be able to create them.

Carbon Ink or Uniball with Paynes Grey Watercolour.
