I did it! I drew every day for a whole year! This sketchbook charts a year from lockdown to moving house to Covid at Christmas. I’m really pleased that I did it but I won’t be doing it again this year! #draw365 #draw366 #sketchbook #drawing #visualdiary #ayearinmylife

I haven’t been posting on here recently but I have done a drawing a day throughout August which I have done every year since 2013. Here’s what I did. 2 drawings to a page, pencil only. A visual diary. #drawing #drawingAugust #onesketchaday

I’m going to give Bluesky a go. You can find me on https://t.co/180sUMjr7x See you there? #Bluesky

I think in view of recent events in the US I will probably be leaving Twitter. It’s a shame- it used to be a great community and I made lots of connections, especially through #drawingaugust. I’ll be on Instagram & on Threads but I think it’s time to step away from here.

#Wordle 1,192 1/6* 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 My word came up! Time for a new starter word…

First a peerage and now a plum job. Why does Boris Johnson keep promoting [Baroness] Charlotte Owen ?

Not done much over the past few days so here’s a collage of some of my #DrawingAugust posts this year.

I really enjoyed this year's #DrawingAugust. You never know where it will take you. Thank you for all the lovely feedback, and thanks to all the other artists sharing and inspiring through the month.

I’ve finished #drawingaugust and successfully managed 2 x 20 minute wildflower drawings every day. I set myself a challenge of using unfamiliar pastels & pens too,and now have a huge sense of achievement. Thanks everyone for the lovely supportive comments-I really appreciate it😊

A collaged selection of my #drawingaugust images. I seem to have one or two in twice but never mind! Lots of ideas to develop from here…

Here’s what I did for #drawingaugust 2024. Thanks for all the likes, retweets and comments.

The last day of #drawingaugust 2024. A beautifully crumbling old boulangerie in Carcassonne. I wanted to add colour but today was the day I left my watercolours behind. Thank you for all the likes and retweets, I have so enjoyed drawing and looking at everyone else’s offerings.

Day 30 of #drawingaugust Stopped for a drink in Toulouse and started drawing. The proprietor put the canopy part way out so I changed my drawing to include it. Then she put it all the way out so I gave up as it obscured much of what I was drawing! #vacances #toulouse sketchbook

Our window looking out across the hills. Fineliner and soluble graphite. Day 29 of #drawingaugust #window #sketchbook

More beech trees on Pitch Hill from a photo I took yesterday. Fineliner and soluble graphite. #DrawingAugust day 28. #sketchbook

Day 27 of #drawingaugust and more beech trees at the side of an ancient track on Pitch Hill. I would have loved to spend longer on this but I had the dog with me. #beechtrees #tangled #drawing #sketchbook

The Thames from Gabriel’s Wharf where I spent the day at Southbank Printmakers Gallery. #drawingaugust #sketchbook @SBPrintmakers

A busy day with lots of guests. Nellie is tired out (& so am I!) #drawingaugust #letsleepingdogslie #sketchbook

The weather wasn’t really conducive for drawing outside today so I drew some beech trees and dappled sunlight from a photo I took a few days ago. Multiliner and soluble graphite. Day 24 of #drawingaugust #sketchbook

Sunlight through the beech trees for #drawingaugust day 23. Artgraf soft carbon soluble pencil. #sketchbook #drawing #beechtrees
