When my daughters come home from school it’s my favourite time of day – not only because I love them, but because I can draw them! Our eldest, Louisa, is exhausted every day and usually has a nap on the couch before beginning homework, so I drew her again today using a UniPin pen and watercolour.

Today I thought I must draw outside instead of stuck in the apartment – so here is another water-colour of the shared swimming pool at our place. I was hoping for a bit of peace and quiet, but as school has been cancelled because of a typhoon (though there is no rain at all), the clubhouse was swarming with children….none in the pool though!
Really back to my routine now – posting every day and I took my daughter to gymnastics again and sketched the people watching (using a UniPin pen), which I’ve done multiple times. I included my own foot and sketchbook this time.
The other day I arrived early to a meeting at my daughters school – so of course I did a quick sketch (which I coloured at home). I used a UniPin pen and watercolour pencils.
Here is one of my last sketches in Dhaka, done on my day off (Friday 7th) – I took a walk to another park. The lake was a brown smudge at the bottom of steep banks, but there were lots of lovely green trees. This was done with a Uni Pin pen, watercolour and watercolour pencils.
I decided to draw something quick and simple today – just keeping up the habit of drawing and letting the watercolour do the work for me! So here is a shelf in our living room, stuffed with books, booze and knickknacks. I drew this with a UniPin pen.
Today I thought I’d try something a bit lighter and not my recent style (maybe), so here is a quick ink (UniPIN pen) and watercolour sketch of our cat on the couch amongst far too many cushions.
This is such a spectacular building that it deserved a rare two page spread in my sketch book. The building (called Chek Lap Kok Airport) is by Foster and Partners and has a fantastic roof/ceiling which was really complicated to draw (let alone design and build!). My drawing was done with a Uni PIN pen, ink wash and water colour pencils.
A quick sketch of some of the china cats in my parents conservatory – done in watercolour and a Uni PIN pen.
