First time posting, so here goes. Thank you Louise for putting together this course and for reminding me how much I admire the work of Joan Eardley. I love the freedom, movement, energy and spontaneity of sketching, be it plein air or done indoors, and have loved using a more limited earthy palette. I am working towards trying to capture the essence of the sketches in the painting , most of which are primarily oils on canvas with added mixed media. The sketches are taken from local walks in North Hampshire, UK.

    Lovely to see your work Helen, well done. They all have a feeling of looseness and airiness which is great
