Watercolour
Watercolour is probably the medium I have worked in for the longest, as I started out with botanical illustration. A lot of my work, such as the fungi, is very detailed and takes many hours to complete, but recently I have been enjoying making quicker, more dynamic watercolour sketches, to capture the vivacity of in particular birds and bees.
Some pieces may be for sale – please check shop for availability. I am also always happy to take commissions.
