I spent five days in Ullapool exploring the Scottish landscape, sketching rivers, hills, and harbours. Using charcoal, pastel, and ink, I created imaginative paintings that pushed me out of my comfort zone. Messy, challenging, and full of discoveries — just the way I love it!

This summer I attended a vibrant garden painting course with Tessa Pearson at Lund Studios, exploring colour, pattern, and mixed media techniques. Her expressive approach to florals—layering watercolour, gouache, and oil pastels—inspired me to loosen up and see gardens in a new light. In this blog post, I share my experience, studies, and creative insights from three joyful days of painting and learning.
