Seamans rest backpackers

There are so many cool builings to draw in Durban. This one is in what used to be know as point rd now Mahatma Gandhi rd. Its pretty run down now but Im sure it has a long history, when it was actually a seafarers inn.

I've always loved tractors and diggers, there is something so cool about controlling big hydraulic arms and picking up rubble. I dont know why, I just like it.

Sam the petrol attendant

This Guy is cool, Just so stoked to be working. I don't feel I did his face justice with this one because in real life he has got a killer smile.

The man in black - on colour

I Painted this a little while ago. The face is Johnny cash. I used cheap kids watercolours, I'm surprised I got the colour i did from the paint.

Moleskine sketches

Durban City hall

Kerry not looking too chuffed

These are from my pocket size moleskine water-colour pad. I carry it around in my car and sometimes do quick sketches when I get a minute.

I'll probably get hijacked sketching in my car one day.

View from porch

The view from my porch. still having trouble with bushes but feel like its an improvement.

Country road

I thought I would try an outdoor scene. Line and wash

Drogba

Didier Drogba, a legend.

Durban country club

Our local country club. A beautiful building that inspired me. I am hoping to paint it again soon.

My first watercolour

This my first watercolour painting. Looking at it now the background is really infantile. I am working on toning down the colours now to get a truer wc feel.

Hello

I guess there is no better way to start that a good old self portrait. This is me. Not a perfect representation but I think it captures a similar likeness. I have been into sketching with pen and pencil all my life and have recently taken up watercolors. I am just starting to learn about how to use suggestion to convey form.So much to learn.
