This hawthorn shield bug was spotted yesterday. Its dazzling fluorescent green body brightened up a dull, wet day. #insects #shieldbug #nature #hawthornshieldbug

Movement and the essence of the creature I draw is what I aim to capture. Here’s some mixed media pieces - which is your favourite?

Cuteness overload! A very young and brave Red-necked Grebe chick leaping from its parent’s back, to the nest below. It wasn’t a pretty landing but thankfully, junior was safe in the end.

Doing an online coloured pencil workshop by Bonny Snowdon. It’s slow going and I’m not able to absorb everything but hopefully worth it. #art #colouredpencil #colorpencil #wip #lioncub

This was my initial sketch for the vermillion flycatcher. I always end up doing adjustments while colouring or painting. In this case I ended up moving its left foot a little more to the right and making its chin less round! #art #sketch #perfectionist

A bee's brain may be as small as a sesame seed, but it can recognize and remember human faces. Nature never ceases to amaze us. Every tiny creature plays a major role in our world. Protect bees, protect life, protect nature.

Tonight’s late night 15 minute squiggle without taking pen off paper. It’s supposed to help with hand to eye coordination. This type of art helps if you’re not feeling up to much due to it sickness and caring for someone sick. #art #sketch #sheep
