Developing my skills in creating digital portraits. I produced a tutorial to share my approach

New visual summaries are on their way to @LivUniAcademy #unilivimpact23. Always a joy to work with these wonderful colleagues! Here’s a sneak peek from one of the notes. How might @SwantonSketches add value to your projects? More examples from last year:

Graphic facilitation is such a privilege. Spent the day in the company of some amazing and inspirational women. Learnt so much and had the confidence to be brave. So excited to be part of such an important project.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with @Kir_Anderson and colleagues on this project.

Still taking orders for pet portraits (digital photo enhancement) - they make excellent Christmas presents…

(Terrifying) horse trophy - Tia @ScotViz - I think I need to practice horses too 🤣

Exploring the prompt of leaves with Tia @scotviz

Loving todays @ScotViz session

Continuing my reflections - 6) this year @LivUniAcademy have been the most wonderful supporters of @SwantonSketches and I loved creating a series of 9 visual notes over the course of their #unilivimpact22 programme

5) I love doing portrait work and pet portraits are very popular as Christmas and birthday presents. Most of this work is photo editing to create a fine-art look and I love adding little personal touches requested by my clients ☺️

Next up in my week of reflection - 4) I stepped away from my digital work to capture the ideas and suggestions of staff and students at @UoE_LTConf - my first commission drawing large scale in the amazing McEwan Hall - what an experience!!!! photo credit: Allan Bovill

3) Really proud of this project which combined my role in @EdNapDLTE with my visual practice interests to develop a visual study skills course for undergraduate students

This was a great development opportunity to capture a sensitive topic but also to recreate it in Portuguese (for project collaborators) 2/2

Next to share in my celebration of another year of Swanton Sketches is 2) the commission for @Kir_Anderson capturing a workshop on the topic of mothers and babies in prison and the role music can play in supporting bonding 1/2

Another year has flown by for @SwantonSketches! This week I thought I would share what I have been up to over the last 12 months… So to start… 1) I was proud to work with @EducationScot to produce a range of resources to support @MVPScot in its work across Scotland
