Following the September session, I went out to a place I hadn't been before to draw in the landscape. By coincidence I found a handy bench. It was quite a walk so I only had a sketchbook and a few pens with me. But, I found the active sitting and quietly observing the landscape very helpful. This is a place I will return to, with some more materials. Meanwhile, this is the sketch I produced.

thanks, i am definitely finding that.
Hi Juli, so glad you enjoyed the experience of sitting and drawing outside – I find that even a quick sketch helps me to remember how it felt to be in that particular place, and that all feeds back into the painting
