Sketchbook

I’ve back blipped the last week when we were in Dorset. As well as my camera I also took a sketch book, pencils, pens and some watercolour pencils. As I’ve mentioned before, my drawing skills are quite limited, but I am practicing. Some of the sketches are never going to be shown, but I was quite happy with these fine liner pen drawings based on our time at Radipole lake.

Since I completed my MA and started working on socially engaged photography projects, I find that I am sometimes referred to as “the artist“. It’s not a label that I am fully comfortable with, and I think that part of that is because my arts education went GCSE Art (using textiles such as batik and silk painting) and then a 30 year gap where I was more of a scientist before going straight to MA.
