I have been re-working some of my favourite life drawings recently for a new series of drawings made available on my online store.
Some drawings are heavily patterned:
You can see a video of the making of that drawing here:

Anyone Can Draw! The Big Picture Collective Art Project with Sandrine Pelissier & Sophie Babeanu
North Vancouver
Sat, August 12, 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM
Sat, August 12, 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
Space is limited and registration is required.
Please visit Opus North Vancouver or contact them at 604‑904‑0447 to register.
The Big Picture is a collective art project where people in our local area and around the world are collaborating to create a big mosaic picture from thousands of smaller drawings.
- If you would like to participate in this exciting project and agree to any of the following:
- The idea of drawing sends chills down your spine
- You have an interesting story to share
- Last time you drew something was in elementary school
- Your dog ate all your drawings (we won’t ask…)
- You want to try some simple exercises for yourself
- You feel like attending a demo by two heavily French accented ladies
Then this is the demo for you!
Sandrine and Sophie will show you some simple drawing techniques: line contour drawing, line and cross hatching, cross contour drawing, scumbling technique, drawing with twigs. You will also have the chance to try for yourself some fun techniques like continuous drawing, blind continuous drawing, and drawing with your non dominant hand.
Attendees are asked to bring along a sketchbook and a pencil or pen to sketch along with Sandrine and Sophie.
Sandrine Pelissier is a North Vancouver-based visual artist and the author of Fearless Watercolor for Beginners. Her work has been published in many books and magazines.

This was a gorgeous weekend for Art in the Garden 2017!
I was located in Christine Hood’s garden, who is a multi media artist (see her website here) as well as a talented gardener.
The Jazz band Blue Bird Day was playing on both days.

I am very excited about these 4 videos being available in DVD and for download on the Artist Network

February 4 o February 9, 2016
Opening on February 4, with artists and models in attendance.
I am very happy to be part of this upcoming show at the International Arts Gallery in Vancouver.
I will be exhibiting a portrait of my friend Sophie.
This year for Culture Days Sophie Babeanu and I did have a fun activity where participants were drawing a selfie, the old fashion way 🙂 That is without a cell phone.
And here are the self portraits:
