 More pictures of crows... I have been doing so many studies in black and white that I am starting to itch for colour (correct spelling by the way- 'Queen's english'). Not alot but something to break it up. I vacillate between using charcoal and ink wash etc alot and intense colour (see paintings here).

I've been creating my own scratchboards also- trying to use exsisting materials that I have or that I have scavanged. I have no shame in dumpster diving or going through the recycling at the school's art department- you can do alot with off cuts, matting cutout, plywood etc

The dog got into the studio and walked across prepped charcoal paper.
