 I'll be live with Hobbycraft TV today giving a drawing demonstration with Uni Ball pens. I've created a simple worksheet to use along with the demo to help you learn some basic drawing techniques. Please feel free to download it using the link below, print and draw along with me during the session . You're also welcome to ask questions in the comments and I'll try and answer them for you either during the live session or in the comments afterwards.

Pop over to the Official Hobbycraft Facebook page to watch live at 11:30am. See you there!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has sent photos of their colouring sheets, they are absolutely beautiful! The response to the Colour in Chester and Save Our Zoo sheets was amazing and I'm so glad you enjoyed them. I've had such kind and wonderful feedback from so many people including schools and organisations who have asked to use the designs. It's been brilliant to see how creative and supportive everyone is in our amazing city!
​

I love the historical city of Chester in Cheshire and feel so proud to live and work here. During the lock down I've realised I'm really missing all of the stunning places and views​ ​I've often taken for granted in the past.

This motivated me to create a colouring sheet inspired by our beautiful city featuring iconic landmarks and everything I love about Chester. I also tried to include all of my favourite places, memories and particular things I associate with Chester such as music, history, nature and wildlife.​ I hope I've included some of your favourites too!
​

I've know how relaxing and therapeutic these colouring sheets/books can be and creativity can play such a huge part in our mental well being. ​Pop over to ColorIt to learn more about the benefits of colouring as art therapy and meditation.

I was incredibly proud and happy to support the wonderful event 'Postcards from The Edge' this year by donating a piece of original artwork for their 17th Annual Benefit. This year the event was hosted by the Luhring Augustine Gallery in New York City and featured stunning artwork by artists from all over the world. The benefit raises money to support the organisation Visual Aids and gets bigger and bigger every year.  The artwork I donated titled 'Dragon Skin' is a postcard sized mixed media piece which is the start in a series I will create over the coming year.

It was so incredible to see a piece of my artwork up in a gallery in New York and I will continue to support Visual Aids anyway I can, please pop over to their face book page to see more of the beautiful artwork from the exhibition!
