It was a perfect day for drawing and painting outside. One person worked on a table enabling them to fully spread out with their materials and work on a decent sized watercolour, filled with fields and trees. Another person worked smaller and in graphite pencil making links to our themed word: “connection”, looking at distant skylines as well as close ups of dry stone walls.
Another person experimented with new artist’s quality chalk pastels, deep into the bank of the lane, creating life, energy and movement with their colour and mark-making. Another used various mixed media to work in a creative and abstracted way (and watch this space as the work will be excitingly further developed!).
There is a beautiful graphite drawing of a series of rounded trees, all overlapping and contributing to the perspective depths of the drawing. We also have a gouache flower meadow, as well as a collage hilly landscape and a collaged close up of what looks like undergrowth with very interesting creatures living there!
Thank you everyone for joining in with our ‘En Plein Air’ session today, it was absolutely wonderful. As one person said, just what my soul needed, thank you!
