Sketching Buddha
Sketching break
I've not really achieved much with sketching this month. Work and general busyness of life has taken over. Looking back at my sketchbook always brings back so many memories. This is one of the many reasons why I enjoy sketching; capturing a moment of time on paper. I remember this sketch drawn 4 years ago... Continue Reading →
Goodbye 2019
2019 honestly felt like the fastest year on record ever. Perhaps it's a symptom of ageing that years begin to pass by quickly, or the fact it was just a crazy busy year. There was so much we packed in: renovating our home (still ongoing!), family holidays, going back to work full time and generally... Continue Reading →
Autumn is my favourite time of the year especially as the colours of nature during this time are so beautiful. I wanted to capture the final moments of Autumn before winter and the colours of Christmas are officially here. Even though I'm missing my pens and watercolours I'm still using my ReMarkable as a sketchbook.... Continue Reading →
Sketching break in October
This the first month in years where I haven't sketched at all! Work has been super busy and I've just not found the time to sit with my sketchbook and pen. I think about sketching all the time. And, I find inspiration scrolling through Instagram. If you're on Instagram, follow me @Biralsketch. I'm hoping November... Continue Reading →

However, for those that know me, being present is something I find difficult, mostly because my attention span is similar to that of a fish, and generally I'm so... Continue Reading →
Sketching ReMarkable
I'm a huge fan of Danny Gregory. I've read his books, taken an online course at sketchbook skool and follow him on social media. His sketches are amazing and over the past year or so he has been drawing/sketching/painting using his iPad. I've always battled with drawing using tech whether that's using an iPad, Wacom...

Sketching in Cornwall
We headed down to Cornwall for our family holiday and it would have been a sin (as a sketcher) not to pack my sketchbook and attempt to paint a little bit of Cornwall. Cornwall is beautiful, and I can see why it's a popular destination for Artists. The beaches, boats, the lighthouse, the rocky shore... Continue Reading →
Sketching Break
I have to admit this is the first time in many months where I haven't sketched anything or even thought about sketching. House renovations and life in general has completed zapped my energy and my time; and because of this my sketching has completely halted. This blog has become a little record of my life,...
