Have a peek at this finished colour sketch, done in preparation for a larger piece. The colour groupings are a little over-simplified here, which helps me hammer out my thoughts. I was on the fence about this one, but @shewearsmidnight has requested I take this through to finished painting, so she can have it. So I shall!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A painting from a frosty morning in Northern Tasmania. I love morning light, and morning fog, and morning frost . . . but it's a struggle to paint or sketch when your fingers are frozen numb! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The underpainting from my current work in progress

The underpainting from my current work in progress 🍂 This is what’s on my desk today . . . Not entirely sure where this is going, because I’m trying something new. Still, I’m excited to see what it will become when I get there. .

It was about time to take a new patreon header photo, and this tiny study seemed perfect for encapsulating my art lately. ‘Spring cleaning’ is a thing, but for me, ‘autumn nesting’ seems much more apt - it’s the time of year I take stock of my creative dreams and ambitions, reevaluate, and get excited for future projects too! Somehow, autumn just feels like the most creatively rich time of year! (Perhaps it’s seeing all the English trees paint themselves such bright colours 🍂)

A cosy autumn cottage. If only I could be there right now! I am dreaming of the crisp, cold air of the mountains 🍂

I’ve been using a lot of gouache lately, so it was nice to get back to transparent watercolour! This was painted last month, when the weather was a bit more stuffy and warm. I have to wear a jumper in the studio in the mornings now!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
