These were some sketches I did that includes a kind of self portrait. I wanted to use various materials and then manipulated the images using the computer.
Butterflies in a garden in Devon.
Butterflies
This is a picture drawn entirely on the computer using a Wacom drawing pad. The software is Photoshop. I used various brushes and sizes with a variety of opacity setting to slowly build up the grass colour and texture.
Dark Tree
This was inspired by the work of Alfred Wallis. Usually his work is associated with boats and ships, but he produced some amazing landscape images. I find the sinister feel of the trees appealing and like the fact the fallen cones on this picture are slightly obscured and the perspective is wrong.
