First up, summer swifts. This was originally intended as the background for a steampunked dragonfly to got with the butterfly & moth, but it didn't work, so I inked in a few swifts for a nice simple summery canvas.
Next up some recycled art. This was originally a workshop piece. It's watered down acrylic sponged onto some basic cardstock. The stone.... yes, it's a stone. No, I know you thought it was something else, stop sniggering. As I was saying; the stone is acrylic with salt texture, and it's all mounted on a piece of scrap cardboard from a packing box.
Last, but not least, a pencil sketch inspired by one of the exercises on Lisa Wright's course.
Gorgeous every one Nigel! Especially your "stone" ... which, snigger-inducing or not, is fantastically beautiful!

I did snigger too... not that I meant to, but I couldn't help it... I do love the colours though, and the top painting is just fabulous... I really like it... fab...xx
