Working in the House

Painted using Golden fluid acrylics, pencil, India ink and Gelatos from Faber Castell.

This was made with pencil, pastels, gelatos, some scraps of digitally transferred image on silk organza and a china marker.

These are a few pages I recently completed using the sketchbook I use in my house. I work in the early morning hours before Alan is up. Although this work was started as a simple solution to not being able to leave him alone to go into the studio, it has now become a springboard for much of my latest work. Because of the materials I am using, old imagery and ways of working came back. And although I initially saw this as a negative approach I was so excited with the results that I felt I had no choice but to embrace it.
