I can’t tell now if I’m struggling to break out of my sketchbook or just enjoying painting in it too much to leave it!
Here are a few more recent ones. They’re all done in my A4 sketchbook and each image is just over A5 in size:
I grew up in Yorkshire on the edge of the Pennines – a large moorland area just north of Manchester. There’s something about this view that really reminds me of the landscape that reared me.
No particular emotional attachment to this view! I just really liked it and thought it would be a fun challenge to paint it.
I have some exciting news to share about Eastbourne which led me to paint this subject! I’m afraid I’ll be saving the details of this news for another time, so I hope that this little sketch will suffice in the meantime!
At some point I’ll do some self indulgent tape removal on these and a lot of the other sketches I’ve been working on! It’s always so satisfying and who knows, I may have a few worthy of mounting and framing!
