This is this months Virtual Sketch Date image How many media can you put in one sketch? Started with graphite but I didn’t like it – so I added some colour pencil and then some watercolour and finally a little pen! It was nice to take a day off serious painting and just sit in front of the TV and doodle.

Also I doodled some tools my husband has lying around (he’s rebuilding computers after he blew up my PC) and particularly liked the adjustable spanner (wrench). I love hardware stores – especially the power tool section. I’ve always wanted a router – with all the extras. What an amazing piece of hardware! One of my ambitions is to learn to make a dovetail joint, but the traditional way, no power tools. Do you have a secret ambition?
