A little work in progress, adding detail with pencils 💚 #fabercastellpolychromos #rabbitwarren #traditionalillustration

I'm working on an illustration that's been living in my minds eye for ages, it feels good to finally get it onto paper!

It's been a while since I worked on a realistic pet portrait but painting Toby has been a joy 💚

A little wren 💚

I'm really pleased with how this painting turned out, especially the little ants! 💚🐜 #longtailedtit #welshartist #traditionalart #britishbirds

It always feels a little bit magic to me that I can make something like a little bird appear onto what was a blank sheet of paper just moments before! ✨

Still slugging away on this snail painting 🐌🍀

A mole in a carrot patch 🥕

Inspired by a toad that lives in our garden and J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit - I imagined a dragon like amphibian atop his pile of treasure! I painted this a while ago and never got around to sharing it, I think he deserves to be seen though 😊

My first painting of the year was this singing blackbird, I painted him for a good friend's special Birthday 💚
