I had no art training until I joined a class in our small village in Oxted Surrey (U.K.) in 2001. Since then I have thoroughly enjoyed learning about water-colour, pastel and oil painting. I have been really been inspired to try these different media by my art teacher. Now with no classes for a few years finding the Challenge sites has been a real boon, I am having a great time. The stimulation one gets from the challenges and the wonderful support from other artists has been fantastic.

A New Year 2012 - January Challenges
A pencil sketch for A Day Not Wasted, I felt there was a lot of character in his face, and probably many stories to tell.
I think this oil painting for Paint and Draw together was my favourite subject this month. I made it have a Provencal feel, which I hope comes across.
Studio Atelier offered a selection of nutcrackers for the challenge and I worked this one in pastels.
The last one this month was for Rookie challenge, and was the study of a creamer with spools of cotton inside, worked in oils, I just had to insert the reason , - someone making a rag doll.
