Keeping Sketchbooks

In 2017 I starting keeping sketchbooks following a move to the harbour town of Porthleven. It was here that I discovered the joys of sketching on location and over the course of 8 months set aside time everyday to sketch from my enviroment. I quickly filled up a number of small moleskines and decided this would be important to continue alongside my illustration work.

 

Content creation

Since my discovery of sketchbooks I have consistently recorded my practice on camera and now have over 5 years worth of video footage which I share on my Youtube channel.

Doing this has not only honed my filming skills but also has developed a love for creating and publishing content where I share my process and chat with other artists about running an art business.

The Joy of Sketching On location Course

In 2023 I launched my first independent course on The Joy of Sketching on location.  

The Joy of Sketching on location is all about building a joyful, consistent outdoor sketchbook practice, where there is no fear of drawing what you see and messy mark-making is to be embraced.

Below are pages from my sketchbooks. If you’d like to see more of my sketchbooks and hear about how I create them you’ll find lots of sketchbook tours on my Youtube channel. I also share more on my Substack newletter which you can find here and I create cards and calendars from my work here.
