As part of our sketchbook project (see first post here), we are aiming to meet up once a week to focus on some drawing in different locations. Our first meet up was at a local allotment on Wednesday last week.
It was such a refreshing change to be out and about surrounded by inspirational shapes, patterns and compositions. We were spoilt for choice with so many things to draw!
It was great to do some ‘loose’ drawing where the marks on paper are quick and free. I found that I got some better results using this method of drawing, rather than focusing on small tight details.
I loved everything about this distressed wooden shed door below… It’s colour, texture, linear patterns, holes, peeling paint.
Vegetables were fun to draw. This has given me some new ideas for surface decoration onto clay.
We are going to develop some of our drawings into greeting cards which is very exciting!
Stay tuned for more drawings coming up soon.
