Great start to this year’s Tour. I decided to try and draw each stage.
Working like a person possessed with several sketchbooks at once. I felt as though I missed everything.
Still, here are the first few drawings … my prologue!

Tour de France 2012, Prologue – Sagan slips, but recovers brilliantly
I’m a contemporary artist working in Leicestershire in the UK. I trained in Fine Art using different media including oils and acrylics, but my recent work is a return to my love of drawn media, especially pen, ink, watercolour and pastels. My theme is movement – My subjects are varied from landscape, animals, musicians, dancers and sport, especially cycling. The unifying feature of all these subjects is that they are constantly changing – even in a landscape there is movement everywhere! I capture the energy of elusive moments often starting with a quick pen and ink drawing. I write and publish my artworks on a blog called ‘Racing Lines’.
