Hello everyone, I am a disabled artist and have just joined this course. Here are my sketches from attempting the Drawing in the Landscape. I was in my nearby park, on a bench, and in the heat! Mediums are acrylic, watercolour, and drawing inks. It was my first time with inks and after this experiment I think I do want to continue exploring them. I tried to be as quick as possible.

Thank you Louise. I am looking forward to develop my work with you.
Hi Corinne, welcome to the course! – and thanks for sharing your lovely drawings. Inks are great fun to use, very immediate and with strong colour. I completely agree with Mike’s comment, I also like the organic shapes and colour contrasts in the top left sketch
Thank you so much Mike. Very kind of you to say.
Hi Corrine
I especially like the largest painting, the one at the bottom of the three. The complementary colour palette works very well and the hot reds and pinks on the left give a sense of the heat of the day. Overall, it is alive and fresh and for me that is what expressive abstract landscape painting is about. The violet lines, which I assume are the drawing inks, work well with the other colours and suggest perspective without being too prescriptive. Like you, I also find that speed is the key to this type of expressive art: not judging or worrying about detail but just letting the right brain have it’s say!
