I discovered Derwents' Inktense Pencils whilst working at City College, Norwich, supporting students. They are similar to watercolour pencils in the you can dilute them with water and move the colour around. The differences are that the colours, as the name suggests, are much more intense and vibrant and also that providing all the pigment has been diluted, once dry, they are permanaent, allowing you work and build up in layers whilst not disturbing the layer beneath. I fell in love with them! I used the vouchers I received for xmas last year to buy myself a set of 36.

I have recently completed some public art in Halesworth, Suffolk. The group responsible for organising Halesworth In Bloom decided it would be a nice idea if the bollards outside the shops in the High street, could be painted with something relevant to each shop. Each has been painted by a different artist and I had the pleasure of painting two; one for Banyan and one for Flick & Son Estate Agents. It was a wonderful experience and I had many people chat to me about what I was doing and met some lovely local characters. If you're in the area, take a walk through the High Street, the bollards really brighten up the town centre and bring a smile to your face; each one is unique and very beautiful.
