Welcome to Inspiration
…a place to gently spark ideas when you’re looking for a new project to start, or when your creativity just feels a little lost
A collection of themed inspiration packs designed to give you new threads to follow, developing your own ideas, and sparking excitement to pick up a pencil or paintbrush and play. Each pack includes a short introduction, alongside a few carefully chosen photos to get your ideas flowing. You’ll also find a suggested colour palette (feel free to adapt or change it), along with some simple guidelines to help you take those first steps.
Here for you to dip into whenever you need a creative nudge. There’s also downloadable PDF (optional) to keep in your sketchbook or studio space. Think of it as a quiet starting point, an invitation to look, play and respond in your own way. No pressure, no right or wrong - just a gentle helping hand to let new ideas begin to surface.

Along the Coast
Where oceans meet the shore and treasures can be found…

Into the Blue
More than just a colour, where every shade has a story to tell…
Blue is so much more than simply a colour, it can represent an object, an animal, elements in nature or even a feeling waiting to be expressed. The more you explore this theme, the more you'll discover.
Bridges
The beauty of architecture, textures and weathered details…
Bridges come in all shapes and sizes, from ancient stone arches and historic structures, to soaring new suspension bridges and simple wooden foot bridges - each one offers something different to explore
