Early spring
Posted: March 25, 2020 Filed under: Uncategorized 21 CommentsBeing indoors is making me stir-crazy, and sitting in my car to draw seems too passive these days. So for today’s scribble, I took my pad and my fountain pen to the woods where I walk the dog. There’s never anyone there, so it’s as good as being in isolation at home. Except there are bits of snow and trees to draw. Thirty minutes was about as much as I could stand without gloves, plus it was too cold to paint on site, so I added a bit of wash when I got home.

Shari, I love the sharp lines on the trees and the soft violet tones – looks bleak. Living in southern Australia, we are into Autumn, and have lots of colours to paint, I’ve been following your blog for some months now, and have one of your books, though at the moment I’m seriously into pastel painting- but this lovely drawing has reminded me I should try a bit of sketching as well. We all have more time now!

Thanks for braving the cold for us. Spring is going to take a long time to get here this year.
