This sketch is of the creek near my village in Cornwall on a frosty winter’s afternoon.

This video is of “El Puente Nuevo” (the New Bridge) in Ronda, Andalusia in southern Spain.

This is the monthly update sketch of my Grandson at four months old

This sketch is of Gibraltar from Europa Point, looking back towards “The Rock” and the Spanish mainland.

This video is of my favourite spot on the edge of my village in Cornwall. This creek appeared in my Video number 5 (Watercolour Sketch of a Cornish Creek) published on 24th March 2019, and is situated just around the corner from the scene in Video Number 38 (Boatyards at Southdown), which was published on 10th November 2019.

Happy New Year everyone and welcome to 2020 and my first sketch of the year. This is a watercolour sketch of a Cornish cove in winter. At the end of the video you will see how I managed to remove (well almost!) the seaweed that looked really wrong and replace it with a far more subtle seaweed effect. I achieved this by painting a small amount of water onto the painting of the seaweed in the picture and then VERY GENTLY scrubbed with the brush and then dabbed it with a clean tissue. This works if you have a good quality tough watercolour paper and if it is something which will still have some texture, like a beach and also if it is not a “staining” colour. I then went back in with a dark brown “Pentel”pen and gently drew in the seaweed with a less regular pattern this time and used a more subtle touch. I was pleased with the “repair” and managed to rescue a sketch that I was less than happy with and turned it into one that I may now make into a full sized painting, which is why I do the sketches in the first place! Hope you enjoyed the video.

This week’s sketch is the “three month old” watercolour sketch of my baby Grandson. Now beginning to smile and growing fast. Still cannot see too well but it is improving slowly. Thank you for watching.

Happy Christmas everybody! I definitely had a handicap this week with this sketch as I had eye surgery on my “good” eye on Thursday and cannot see that well at the moment, but I am hoping and praying that it will improve some more before next week. It should have been the “4 month” sketch of my Grandson but I am hoping to do that next week now. Thank you for watching.

This is a tour through a Watercolour Sketchbook of mine that I started in 2016 and finally completed a few weeks ago. It contains some of my sketches from my You Tube videos plus sketches that I used as “try outs for potential larger finished paintings. Thank you for watching.
