It’s time to get back to the Wood and the Garden for more daily sketching but I’m not going to post them on the blog every time I make some. They tend to be quite similar and I think a bit boring for the viewer, instead I’m going to post them on Instagram as it’s quite nice to keep a record. You can find that much neglected Instagram account here.
As I have said many times before, I really get so much from these modest sketches. If you are dithering about going sketching just take one pen and some paper and be in the environment for a little while. Don’t forget, it’s not so much about the drawing as about being there; what you see, smell, feel, etc etc. I am normally drawing for about 20 mins at the very most. It is one of the most rewarding things in life that I do. I look back at the sketches and the occasional notes and very often can remember the day.
Some back and white thumbnails in situ.
and a few further sketches, some worked in colour.
I am trying to be a bit more focused with the sketching this time, taking some into colour which I fully intend to make into wonderful organised reference sketchbooks. It has never happened before but I think I can do it! YES I can!… yes you can Val !
They can make for a great library, comprised of entirely your own work, to then be used for other projects.
Hmmm …
I am trying to get the Book/Box thing photographed and will post next exciting part 2 very soon!
