Everywhere I go I draw the people and the surroundings, I have always been a fan of people watching and for once I thought I would start sketching the people that I am watching, from doing this I have found a quirky style of drawing that I never knew I had and I love it.

This is a way of recording the colours of the places I have been to. I am very interseted in developing the photographic side of my project and I am very pleased with the abstract compositions I have already done.
I want to investigate further the use of colour, compostion and image in my project. Some of the photographic compositions I have put together in my sketchbook will be tested as digital prints which i can then develop further using print techniques on top in the print workshops.
