Spring

Finally, it is spring. Today I have splurged out on art supplies. My garden is coming to life and every spring I sit out there and sketch the flowers. This year I am going to do mixed media sketches using charcoal and oil paint on primed paper. Its going to be messy and tactile and a lot of fun! I think the painted flowers with a charcoal background should be interesting and a challenge to keep the sketches fresh looking and hopefully with a smattering of originality. Drawing is my first love and spring is the season of love!



This a sketch from a few years back sold at exhibition

"Spring is the season of love!". It's very fitting that you chose a picture of a passion flower.

Trying again Samantha. I've changed the way comments are handled slightly. Hopefully, users will find this easier. Please delete any of my comments you don't want.
