Drawings & Sketches

“Drawing is immersive and meditative. I often use pen, or pen and watercolour, or sometimes a big chunky graphite pencil. I keep it simple; just a few lines. To draw and to look and to see, and to record what I see, is fundamental. Not necessarily important to the content of my next painting, in fact, rarely. It is more to do with a ‘limbering up’. A kind of big stretch of the muscles before my studio work begins.”
