Finger Painting Up A Mountain.

Sketching en plein air.

I went on a hike up the Brecon Beacons earlier today, a circular walk beginning and ending in Craig y Nos. It was a hefty jaunt and we had a stop for a bite to eat up on the mountain, where I did a bit of sketching with Derwent Inktense blocks onto a heavy Khadi handmade paper. I sprayed the paper with water from a spritz bottle first and quickly drew into it with the blocks, using both the points and the sides. Then I blended it with my fingers, keeping the paper quite wet. I like the way the heavy texture came through.
