Playing is learning


This week I’m playing with watercolour. That’s not to say I’m not working, but that playing is the best way to learn. If I called it research it would sound more professional, but not nearly such fun, and as I’m in the business of creating children’s picture books I feel like fun is the best approach.


I’ve also had a bit of a play with technology, creating a pop-up for Iver No-Idea to pop onto the screen. And who is Iver No-Idea? Well you’ll just have to go and find him… it shouldn’t be too difficult…



Must dash… my paint has dried and is ready for the next bit.
