← I’m really really behind, but did finally manage to do quite a lot of drawings when down in London last week, very much experimenting with materials, sketchbooks, what is possible for me to carry . . . . this is using a lavender daniel smith watercolour stick and watercolours, of what I hope is an easily recognisable place ! Western Downs towards the Castle, oil on board 50x60cm. My own style worked up from my plein air sketchbook drawings. Some attempt at a Constable sky! →

I love her sketches too Felicity – you’ve got that sense of strong pattern and fluid brushwork which she does so well. I haven’t come across Aquagraf, I’ll check it out!

Dramatic image and the contrasting warm and cool palette works really well!
