sketchbook exchange another update
Vivien's Time and Tide series in the FPP sketchbook exchange - Nina's book,
theme: Local Colour
Nina's book is now with Ronell so I can show the pages I did - Nina's pages were bathed in golden sunlight and Glen had continued with large red poppies.
My first thought was to do some extreme close ups of poppies but I decided to cool things down instead and do the English coast in changing weathers and times. These were done in a variety of media including watercolour, Inktense, Caran d'Ache Neocolor II, watercolour pencils and mix of them all.
I've now received the next 2 moleskine exchanges from Gesa - no pressure there then! and am off to enjoy browsing them and have a think about what to do next before sending them on their way.
Gesa has done some lovely sketches of wild island landscape - I'm hoping she'll do some in my book!
Comments
thanks :>)
yes they arrived safely and fast Gesa :>) I'm loving the sketches you've done in the Scottish islands - which is somewhere I've always wanted to visit. I lived in Scotland for a while and went to school in Forres - I lived at Findhorn on the Moray Firth. We'd often holiday on the west coast and I longed to go to the isles. My parents never 'got' the appeal of islands with their special light and beautiful beaches.
Robyn I'll try to remember to do a couple in your book :>) and I so envy you your beautiful garden.
Jeanette I hope you are enjoying your exchange as much as we are - it's so much fun! I've really liked the portraits you've been doing.
Actually, I already had an idea for yours. Well, it's not island but wild Scottish West Coast nonetheless, it would probably qualify...
