The Whole World

My little watercolour painting of the world!
I thought I would zoom in on Europe, as that is my continent. This was a gift for my Auntie Marjorie, she was a missionary and travelled all over the world seeing many beauties and experiencing the wonderful cultures the world has to offer. One day I hope to travel too, and I shall set off with my sketch book in hand, recording all the sights to be seen.

Merry Christmas!! Hope you have all got what you asked Father Christmas for 🙂 I got some new golden brogues!! These are pictures of a soft pastel piece I did from a Wayne Thaibauld painting. He has been an inspiration to me especially with his unique use of colour, now a days we can change the colours on photographs, but back in the 50’s he had to use his imagination, (he had tonnes of it) he was even a disney cartoonist in his early years! LOVE HIM!! His works are so bright and psychedelic yet somehow still realistic… Genious! I reccomend you google him and look at some of his works, they’re all fantastic! Happy New Year!!!

HEY YOU GUYS! 
So yesterday was my birthday!! 18 now YAY! (Super exciting) I thought I’d put up a drawing I did this time last year of the Ritz Hotel London 🙂

This pencil sketch is only about 4×3 inches so it took a lot of concentration!! This is drawn from a sketch of Stephen Wiltshire’s.

Simon Crofts Photography

This is my interpretation of the photograph taken by Simon Crofts. I love his ballet photography, the way he captured behind the scenes; the excitement and beauty of ballet as well as the hard work and determination of the ballerina’s. He also takes really pretty pictures 😛 Anyway… I just started my new job but will still be posting, if I stop doing school work my teachers (and my Mum) will kill me!! Have a great week guys!!

Christmas Fairy

This is a photograph of me when I was little-ish. I really like it because my Dad took it and it reminds me of Christmas when I went to sleep early so St Nicholas would come, and I’d wake up to a full stocking at the end of my bed. So seeing as my current project is on ballet; I thought it appropriate to draw me. Then I decided to do another with ink as well 🙂 Thinking about it now, I can’t remember the photo being taken, but I am sitting here typing this in the same place! Hope you like my little sketches xx
