Yesterday evening, I spent four hours drawing #caricature sketches for Harris.ai in Flight Club #Liverpool . For clarity, it's a darts themed bar, nothing to do with aviation or violence. Sketches were done with a brush pen and Promarkers on bleedproof paper. The client's logo was pre-printed onto this. And finished in time to get the train back to Birmingham!

Recently I was asked to run a workshop for a GP practice group in Bradford. The session started with a few historical notes, then I showed examples of the ways various artists had drawn caricatures of celebrities. After this, I did a 3 minute demo of a sketch of one of the delegates, then got them to do some drawings themselves. Some chose to draw each other, but one one table, everyone decided to draw Vicky Pollard!

Whilst #caricaturing is my main line of work, I also enjoy other art, and painting buildings and views whilst on the spot is a great way to keep the eye, mind and hand in practice. All observational art keeps the artist aware and connected, and the discipline of watercolour, especially with limited time on site, fosters a conscious view of the world around. This cannot be achieved by either photography or by drawing from photos. These are a few from the last year or so.
