In A Silent Way
Every week deserves a picture. This blog shows my artwork. It covers many years of work, though only a snippet is shown here. I live, work and teach art in the north east of England. The orange bar below has links to the art courses I teach.

Charcoal ground overlaid with colour pastel
I teach several art classes in Gateshead. Here are some small sketches in charcoal and pastel used to demonstrate to my class of adult learners. I like the way a charcoal ground mixes the overlaid colour in random ways forcing you to be much more intuitive.
