Milo, aged 2 1/2
I bought some new watercolours last night, White Night brand, think they are Russian, and am well impressed with them. They were reasonably priced, and are professional quality whole pan paints, with rich colours and highly pigmented.
Anyhow, I was inspired to paint this portrait of my son, aged 2 1/2. pencil and watercolour on A4 Aquafine paper.

My Boy Has Autism
This is a piece for my art degree, an expressionistic sketch I have made in my sketchbook.
My son has autism. He is 13 years old. He has difficulty relating to the world around him at times, suffers from anxiety and mild learning difficulties, but at the same time is very bright and articulate and has an amazing vocabulary. He feels trapped sometimes, by the autism. It can be little things, like his food averisons, or his sensitivity to sounds, or the unpredictable nature of our world. Sometimes he has huge meltdowns.
This toy, Iggle Piggle, was a gift from my late grandfather when Milo was a baby. My grandfather died three years later, followed by my son’s father a week later. This toy has a lot of sentimental value for me, as it takes me back to the love and support we had when my son was a baby.
This piece represents how my son feels as an autistic person, and how I feel as the mother of an autistic child. I think it speaks for itself.

Shells
Today I have been sketching seashells, using a fine drawing pen and using a technique called cross hatching.
It is something I am just learning, so is not perfect, but it is an interesting technique to experiment with.
Would be interesting to add some colour!
