Blue Potato Bush again
In bloom again and I couldn’t help myself. This time around I’ve drawn this plant with traditional medium and tools, watercolour and dip pen. It’s a bit darker than I was planning but that’s just the way it goes, sometimes it’s best to listen to the subject and not get too in-your-head about what it…

September Lemons
I started this drawing in September and seriously misjudged how long it would take to finish. I didn’t factor in holidays or that I’d forget to pack my collage gear. Oops! As a nice piece of fate, where we stayed had two bountiful lemon trees so I had the real thing to draw from, it’s…

More Calendula
With a mass of new calendula flowers growing outside, I didn’t feel too bad about making a handful of them sit in a vase to become the newest drawing matter. I’m not sure yet if they might have some ‘halo’ effects put on tomorrow, but incase I ruin the original drawing I thought it best…

Hung Sunflowers
Back to ink dip pen and collage for what was a complex bunch of sunflowers to draw. The ‘hung bunch’ is still something that interests me, and even if it means the drawing is a bit more compacted, I like it. There were a lot of lines and curves and contrast within this to keep…

Flower Book
A while back I liked the idea of drawing flowers growing from the centre of a book, so I set up a still life reference for it. It was shoved into my ‘visual diary’ album and pretty much forgotten about. Recently I pulled it out and made it into a quick ink pen and collage…

Daffodils
So, I have pulled out Procreate again and had a go. I figured the subject should be relatively easy so that I can focus on technique. My aim is to draw digitally as close to what I do analog as possible. I’m not sure if that’s such a great idea but it feels right. I…

nasturtiums again
Just when I thought my desire to draw Nasturtiums had gone, my garden burst out in a patch of surprise ones. It was too much. So here is an extremely colourful (for me, anyway) drawing of those little gems. Medium was schmincke watercolour, pigma micron 005 and collage on Saunders 638gsm paper.

bird
Another drawing that’s just for fun, no purpose other than to keep my hands and brain happy. 😁 here’s a couple of closeups… This is available in my shop, https://morrowmoon.etsy.com

Natsari and Ash
A drawing for the fun of it. I don’t want it to be a spoiler for anyone reading Crown of Bones (by A. K. Wilder) but this is a drawing connected to the book. Maybe don’t read on if you don’t want a full spoiler! I felt quite emotional by the end of this story.…
