A quick visit to ChelseaPhysicGarden checking out a few subjects in readiness for my upcoming workshop there in August. We'll be making watercolours with plants, then painting with them! Bamboo is super easy to paint, with a few expressive lines you have a lovely elegant painting.

Wishing you a lovely weekend! x

Summer garden bouquet, quick sketch to find the colours

Final painting with pictures of sketch and subject. It was really helpful to make the pastel sketch first, to figure out how the flowers fit on the paper.

Citrus in pastel from my sketchbook today. Our next door neighbour is from Hong Kong, and loves all those big leafy plants from tropical regions. In the autumn he gave me a seedling he grew from an orange pip. It's now getting full morning sun in the war… bit.ly/30G3AEE

Final strokes of the week for my most unusual order yet! Will reveal the painting after this gift is given. Wishing you a lovely relaxing weekend! 💛 #buildingillustration #bespokeillustration #privatecommissions #illustrationoftheday #venueillustration #watercolourpainting

Mimosa is now in bloom in London. I love putting my nose to the flowers, feeling the soft delicate brush of the flowers and leaves on my face. And that scent, so sweet and beautiful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #inspiredbynature_ #inspiredbypetals…

I'm putting together a new series of original artworks based on citrus fruits. Hope they'll bring a little sunny zing on a kitchen wall whatever the weather. Quick sketch here of kumquats to try out a composition

A zesty zing for #foodiefriday. This is a pomelo, which I tasted for the very first time two weeks ago. It tasted a lot like grapefruit only sweeter. Nice! 🍊💛 #botanicalpainting #thebotanicalseries #botanicaldreamers #allthingsbo…

Hope you're keeping well in these very unusual times! Most of us are self (or imposed) isolating at the moment and might be in need of a little positive and relaxing distraction, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to get together with you for a painting session her…
