This was part of 'The Natural World' project trying to reflect what is going on in the world.

Observational drawing based on nature. This was a three hour drawing trying to capture all

the details of the leaf.

A3 Pencil Drawing 'Wasp'

Observational drawing based on nature. For this I had to take a photo of the wasp so I could 

zoom in to try and include as much detail as possible.

A2 Charcoal Drawing

This was done from a photo taken in Dumfries town centre as part of 

observational drawing.

A3 Drypoint Print created from the 'Wasp' drawing then painted with acrylic paint.

I thought it would be good to try and get the detail onto a drypoint piece of work.

After running a couple of prints of I wanted to see what it would look like adding

some colour.

A2 Monoprint

This was my first monoprint based on my own style of art work. This is a contemporary piece based on the human body. Some of my art is influenced by Basquiat and Picasso.

A3 Woodcut Print from my project the 'Lunatic Asylum' printed on thin Japanese paper.

After researching printmakers I came across an American artist Elizabeth Catlett. Her 

work has been a big influence on this piece of work.

Maquette using grog clay, part of a set of three ceramics pieces for 

my project the 'Lunatic Asylum'.  For my finished piece I want to

create a Grayson Perry style vase based on the Lunatic Asylum.

Finished ceramics project called 'The Brain' using grog clay for this. I used my

sons foot as a mould and for the brain I used a blown up balloon. I was trying to

depict how the brain connects to the rest of the body.
