About my Art journey
Drawing on my whiteboard
( all the time!)
Since the age of three, I have always loved cars, trucks and many other vehicles that I could learn about engineering. I remember being so excited when I got my Liebherr truck and all my Bob the Builder toys for my fifth birthday.
Drawing my favourite toys
I had a yellow digger toy that became part of a bigger collection of digger and truck toys as well as my fire engine toys that I drew on a whiteboard
Sketching at car shows
I have attended many cars shows since 2021 and loved to sketch the cars that I saw there.
Progressing to watercolour paintings
My drawing skills continued to get better and I began experimenting with watercolour and acrylic paints.
