Here are some photos from today’s session, the start of our preparatory work in our sketchbooks, for a large piece.
These are all studies and works in progress and some changed even after I took the photos (apologies, I didn’t get photos of everyone’s work). Ideas for the prep sessions were studying flowers, looking at other artists’ work, creating a mix of images to create a narrative, experimenting with different watercolour techniques, trying out techniques for drawing sheep (I missed off some other great sheep drawings here), exploring coloured tiles using woven newspaper and magazines, exploring allotments, and exploring washing on a line.
All wonderful topics to be playing with. For some, these first ideas will morph and change. A wonderful session, thank you for your participation!
