DrawingOutside:Northants

Posted on July 7, 2015 by jeandrawingaday

Since the beginning of British Summer Time Minnie Teckman and I have been running DrawingOutside:Northants. This is, we hope, going to become a recognised UrbanSketchers group one day. This is the blog where you can see the art that local artists have made over the last fifteen weeks: DrawingOutside:Northants

White daisies

Pencil

10 x 30cm

I’m determined to really explore my crop of white daisies – they are so tall and strong this year. I’d like to do some collagraph prints maybe a tall one and a long letterbox type one. So lots of drawing of daisies whilst they still in flower in order to have some images to plan prints from.

White daisies in my garden

Carbon pencil

The white daisies have just opened in my garden. I want to capture the whiteness, the lines of the stems and diagonals of the leaves – I’ll have to keep trying. This was drawn using a carbon pencil – something I’ve not used before.

A memory from yesterday.

Brushes Redux app

Yesterday I went to the park and on the way out I glanced over to the left. My eye was caught by a vibrantly bright green bush and light tree trunk with a striking shadow both set against a very dark background of foliage. I could stop to draw and I didn’t have my phone to take a photo. I tried to hold the me memory in my mind until I could get it onto paper – or screen, as it turns out!
