Observational drawing is at the centre of my practice. It has different purposes each time I draw: when I want to learn about colours in nature, when I am inspired by a scene, when I try to capture the atmosphere, when I observe movement and emotion, or when I just want to play and draw. I think of my drawings as similar to candid photographs taken with a long exposure. What I see and experience is recorded in the image, and it does not always need to look successful to others.
