Husb and I forced ourselves out of our comfort zone aka the settee and took off to the magnificent Rhossili Bay on the Gower Peninsula for a brisk walk. It was bracing as we headed past the National Trust centre towards Worm’s Head which had been cut off by the ferocious sea this afternoon. I found a spot that wasn’t quite as windswept as everywhere else and did some drawing en plein air, using black, white and sanguine conté crayons into an A4 hard-backed, spiral-bound brown paper sketchbook. I did a quick impressionistic sketch, partly because it was not easy drawing in high winds, and also because I don’t like working naturalistically with land- and seascapes.
So simple, so effective.
Thanks Neil 🙂
Your sketching portrays the rough sea perfectly.
Thank you Sharon, it was cold so I think the shaking hands helped 😀
Sorry I haven’t been around as late sometimes the screen messes with my eyes
Thank you for you being you
As Sheldon Always
Thank you Sheldon. It’s good to hear from you. I hope you have good fortune in the New Year x
