The wind in the willow
Posted: April 20, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized 4 CommentsDoing a sketch every day allows you the chance to experiment, sometimes unsuccessfully. It is a cold and damp day, far too cold to sit outside. The only place I could go on my lunch hour was to my car. I tried to paint the beautiful soft texture of the willow that was in front of me… unsuccessfully. Tried it first just in watercolour and in a last-ditch attempt to make it work, added the sepia lines. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Great movement!
Thanks Karen. I was inspired to do this after I saw your beautiful willow photo…
I love the movement also, and the composition as usual – with the metal posts moving in an opposite direction to the tree.
Thanks Alison. As you can tell I wasn’t too happy with this one.
