This is the “other” side of the drawing I posted yesterday, from my Landscape Khadi sketchbook. I like drawing right across the double page to get a panoramic view. I’ll be using watercolours on this – when I find the time! This is somewhere in the Lake District, up a mountain, I can’t be moreContinue reading “Starting With Line: 4”

Starting With Line: 3
Here’s another line drawing I did en plein air in the Lake District recently. Husb and I went up for a few days to see family and get out and do some walking and sketching. This is somewhere on the top of the Lake District, I’ve no idea where! Just liked the look of itContinue reading “Starting With Line: 3”
Starting With Line: 2
Here’s the second part of my line drawing of the Giant’s Grave standing stones at Kirkstanton in Cumbria, done in the field en plein air into my Khadi landscape sketchbook. I like to sketch across the double page as it gives me a panoramic view, which is interesting to draw. When I’ve got a bit of time,Continue reading “Starting With Line: 2”
Starting With Line: 1
I did a series of pen line sketches while Husb and I were away in Yorkshire and Cumbria recently. They were fairly quick to do and I intend on working into them with ink or watercolour washes over the next week. Here’s one at the beginning of it’s artistic journey. It’s the Giant’s Grave standingContinue reading “Starting With Line: 1”
From The Hide…
Husb and I had a few days away in the north of England, splitting out visit between West Yorkshire and Cumbria. I managed to so some sketching as well as some fairly strenuous walking, historic sight-seeing and visits to friends and relatives. This is a sketch I made in pen (Faber Castell Pitt) and InktenseContinue reading “From The Hide…”
On Ilkley Moor…
Here’s a quick sketch I made on Ilkley Moor when Husb and I had a few days away in Yorkshire recently. We walked to see The Badger Stone and I sat and sketched with my Derwent Inktense blocks and some water reservoir pens.
Sketching In The Park.
Here’s another little sketch from my recent holiday in Yorkshire. Husb and I went for a stroll around Saltaire and stopped for a cuppa – it was unseasonably warm.
Hands And Daffodils.
I haven’t posted on this blog for a few days because Husb and I have been away on holiday, exploring the North of England. We spent a happy few hours in Salts Mill in Saltaire, absorbing the fabulous artwork of David Hockney. There’s also a stunning exhibition of photos by Ian Beesley. We had dinnerContinue reading “Hands And Daffodils.”
The Broken Tree
This tree pulled me over. It was broken, fallen, but new trunks had grown up out of it. I was in a very bad place at the time and this tree inspired me with a message of regrowth and regeneration.
A Couple Of Heads.
A couple of scribbled heads from Friday evening, the gig of fabulous local band Omnichron. And I picked the first rhubarb of the season today, loads of it in the garden, it’s been unusually warm lately and I think it’s brought the rhubarb along a bit early.
