I enjoyed it very much and learn simple basics techniques that have helped me with my drawing skills. Instructor Emerson was very patient and explained things in beginners language. I also enjoyed the class outdoors.

Title or Location: Resemblance
I often get told that I look like my mother, I take it as such a compliment every time. She?s beautiful. But I resemble my mother in other ways, too, My anxiety probably resembles her anxiety just as much as my hands resemble her hands.

Title or Location: Capitola Dreaming
I was thinking about Capitola and the last time I visited the iconic beach with its brightly colored beach houses. While daydreaming of this most loved vacation retreat I was exploring new techniques with my watercolors. This painting was the result of that thought process and experiment.

Title or Location: Authenticity
My art "Authenticity"This piece represents my journey of transformation ? a journey of becoming the truest and most authentic version of myself.It is about releasing limiting beliefs, breaking free from old patterns, and leaving behind the masks I once wore to fit expectations and seek acceptance. The act of removing the mask symbolizes letting go of the false identities that no longer serve me and embracing who I truly am.At its heart, this artwork carries a powerful message: be aut

Title or Location: My Favourite Toy
This is Marley, one of my loopy border collies. I managed to take the reference photo for this drawing in one of his quiet moments, while he was hugging his favourite toy and stopping his brother Bob from stealing it! It was a challenge drawing him on pastelmat as I'm not too experienced with it but quiete happy with how he came out! He's drawn in a mix of faber castel polychromos, caran d'ache luminance and some derwent drawing pencils.

Title or Location: Balnagask golf course
I loved this photograph from John Strachan photography and finally got around to painting it in acrylic. I tried to be quite loose with the painting as there was so much detail. in the end I thought the sky looked a bit bare so with the help of Chat GPT I added seagulls to the photo and was then able to paint them into my art work. This painting will be heading for the Aberdeen art show the end of August for sale.
