It's week two for me in my first ever art class, bookmaking and sketching with Wendy Shortland, which I am enjoying very much. To describe something my first instinct is to start writing, though whether it's words or ink, looking takes the cake. Here I may have bitten off to much,with this scene from the courtyard of the Moore Room. Still it's the luxury of a cacaphony of plants, that green thought manifest, the sense of riot and abundance, which makes it such a pleasure to attempt to translate the garden to paper. Next week I hope to turn a few new leaves! Carol J.
Dear Carol,
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful work, especially, color use is so lovely. See you next time.
Kind regards, Sadami
i love the butterfly-splash of colour :)
ReplyDeleteLovely greens... looks like a jungle, your butterfly is just the right spot of color. I'm so envious of such a group of friendly sketchers... wish there was a group like yours near me.
