The New Style

I finished stippling a pot from a settlement not far from Smolensk in a peat bog area, which is why there were so many pot pieces preserved. I cannot express how exciting I find it to be able to hold an object that is 6,000 years old.

The NEW STYLE! Exciting times as I have developed a new style of drawing (for me), combining pastel colours and black pen. I love colour. All I want to do now is draw, particularly the tops of buildings. The roof features are so varied in St Petersburg.

Below, one inspired by Vincent. I love going into 'work' and being able to see original Van Gogh paintings. Me at the Loft, which is a great place for drawing rooftops. And a pair of beautiful antique scissors I'm wondering whether to purchase...

Illustrations for the Hermitage

More drawing for the Hermitage archaeology department. Jillian and I laugh about being published stipplers. Hello my name's Jasmine,

I stipple.





And two of my own (I'm a bit shy of these two)

Walking home

All the remains of the ice are chunks that drift around, ghostly

Easter Ball

Russian 19th century style, it had to be done as a tribute to Russian Ark. There were master classes the week before, so I was able to get totally confused in Russian learning various dances such as the Polonaise.

The perennial problem, not enough men

Tati said we have to do the sailor photo, so we did

And me busting some moves (and I thought I was a good dancer)
