This is the last of the outdoor sketches I did in my recent stay in The Lake District. We stopped a while up in the mountains while younger relatives swam in the river – it was WAY too cold for me – so I sat and sketched with Derwent Inktense blocks into a Khadi landscape sketchbook with a bit of help from a reservoir water pen. The rocky outcrops formed strange vertical lines scattered across the land. The sky was glowering and grey as a thunderstorm approached but at the same time, strong sunlight hit the grass, making it glow with different greens.
