Husb and I spent yesterday walking with friends along Newport beach on the North Pembrokeshire coast. Apart from the exceptional beauty of the place, it’s notable for the variety of wild birds along the estuary and the rugged vertical slate cliffs. I stood with my back to the slate cliff and quickly sketched the headland and the beach in front of me. I used Daler Rowney soft pastels into a small Khadi handmade paper sketchbook.
Afterwards, back at our friends’, we sipped tea, nibbled on home made bara brith and browsed through some books on Kyffin Williams’ landscape drawings. Inspirational.

Simple landscapes, especially just to capture the forms, colors, and feel, are sometimes the most accurate. Very nicely done!
Thank you, Jason. I struggle to get to grips with landscape, this seems to be a way forward.
Very cool. Looks like a mix of water colours and oil pastels. Have a nice day! 🙂
Thank you. 🙂
lovely. thats beautiful paper as well
Thanks. I’m totally obsessed with paper. Canvas sucks! 😀
yes i have never understood canvas. sometimes i wonder if i should have trained properly as a fine art painter but who can be bothered.
Life’s too short …… 😊
