Weddings & Special occasion art commissions



Art work for Weddings and Special Occasions

One request I get from time to time is to create a large ink drawing, normally of a tree for wedding guests to plant (pun intended) their fingerprint in the form of a leaf to represent their attendance on the day. Though it is not limited to just a tree as I can create various shapes to cater for the occasion.If you would like something similar for your wedding day or any other large special landmark or get together then contact me for more information.




Table cards and plans for Weddings
Above are some examples of other illustrative work I created for a Glastonbury themed wedding.
I created the different music stages and they were used to organise the guest tables and large table plan.

Timelapse of two pencil sketched figure drawings


  My latest timelapse video is some examples of sketching figures. These are my partner's children, who are perfect subjects for sketching. For some years I was always sketching my own daughters as they were always a great source of inspiration for daily sketching.
I usually try and sketch them while watching TV, but In this instance, I took pictures of them
in order to do the timelapse and I did a slightly longer sketch of each of them.
Each sketch took around 45mins each.

Timelapse ink and watercolour sketch

 

 This weeks timelapse sketch is the Round Towers entrance to Arbury Hall in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. The media I used to create the sketch was Winsor and Newton watercolours and Uni-ball gel pen which I love to use for most of my sketch work.

This sketch is part of the ongoing art tags I organise on Twitter and other social media platforms. This month is #buildapril which is to create and building or structure during the days of April. Anyone can have a go and it is a great way to motivate, learn and share.
I will post more soon. If you liked the videos I create then feel free to subscribe
