ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This beautiful blue jay on a branch looking over his shoulder was one of my first coloured pencil artworks. The image perfectly shows off the bird's gorgeous blue plumage and captures the animal in its natural environment. The piece is 'painted' on 250gsm mixed media paper using Faber Castell's Polychromos coloured pencils. This painting technique uses a solvent which dissolves the oil based pigment in the pencil, dissolving the pencil strokes to leave a smooth painted finish. Layers of colour are built up to produce a detailed picture that provides depth and realism. The finished painting is a result of many hours of painstaking, slow and careful work. The background is painted in watercolour.

I am a Yorkshire lass, born and brought up in Bradford, but now living in Liverpool where I obtained a degree in English Literature and History. I'm a self taught artist working mainly in coloured pencil. I also dabble in watercolour, pen and ink and acrylics. I am influenced by nature, architecture and vintage design, especially Art Nouveau. I also love mandala art.
