I’m flicking through my archives, this is from 2017 when I went off to Cardiff to work en plein air, in the street in Mill Lane. Unusually for me I decided to work with collage. I don’t find collage particularly intuitive, it’s quite difficult for me as I normally draw everything. But now and again I push out of my comfort zone. I’m quite pleased with this one.
I used a mixture of prints that I didn’t like or hadn’t come up to scratch. And papers I had coloured myself with soft pastels. And it was one of the few days in Wales when it didn’t pour down with rain!
