Dry watercolour pencil on paper, August 2007.
I don’t usually draw abstracts. If anything, it is reminiscent of the feminine form.
It was drawn using watercolour pencils, except that I didn’t paint over them with water. The pencils, when used dry, have a unique texture and can be built up to a thickness that I personally haven’t found in other standard types of pencil. I like the way the original has brought out the grainy texture of the paper - though I don’t know how clearly that’s been captured in the photograph here.

Watercolour pencil and pencil on art paper.
Inspired by a model in a hairdressing magazine! It may have lost a little in the translation from painting to photo, but I was pretty happy with it. The style is obviously cartoony. I don’t think I could draw life-like people… unlike my mother, who is a spectacular artist (check out her paintings at

This was drawn in water colour pencils, then painted. It was drawn on one of those awfully hot summer days that we had around New Year’s Day this year. I had been reading Arabian Horse magazines, and while I don’t think this horse necessarily looks Arabian, I was certainly inspired by the amazing purebreds in the magazines.
