WM in action & kit
These are a series of images both showing places where I have painted and the variety of kit used, both for plein-air work and potrait-sketches.
 Glen Shieldaig Forest Time for a 15-min oil sketch overlooking the Forest and Loch Torridon. 2022. Oil on board 130x200 |
 Above Alness A bit of work in the white stuff - photo by Jonathan Shearer. A great time plein-air! But most of the time I kept the gloves on - too cold otherwise! |
 Egypt 2009 Our son Thomas and I had a brief break in Egypt and the water-colour sketching opportunities were amazing. It was great trying to draw camels! Thomas couldn't resist taking this photo |

 Iceland Feb 2015 Yes it was COLD! Libby is smiling as a bare-hand sketch takes place because the gloves were too cumbersome! The sacrifices....! |
 Bangor N Ireland Bangor N Ireland A massive privilege to be doing portrait-sketches at a 'Christmas hand-made craft fair' in 2019 . It was organised by our daughter Sarah who also had a stall as did our grand-daughter - 3 generations together!! |
 New Zealand 2015 A 40th wedding-anniversary treat for Libby and I of a month in New Zealand in 2015. What an amazing country and what great places for painting! |

 With Masai Lady A once-in-a-lifetime chance in a Masai Village to do portrait-sketches of some wonderful Kenyan people. Here with one of the ladies. Crystal - now married to Thomas - took the photo. Charcoal on pastel-paper and then fixed....and VERY hot! |
 Drawing Ingrid A professional photographer's take on portrait-sketching at the Bangor Christmas Fair, Northern Ireland. He has caught the vivid busyness of the Fair but kept a simple focus on the drawing. |
 At Nairn Book & Arts Week Here with Nathan after doing his portrait-sketch at Nairn Book and Arts Week. The 'Week' is like a miniature 'Edinburgh Festival' and it has been a privilege to be invited there for the last few years. |
