Eastern evening sky - chalk pastels - 60 mins. This morning I harvested onions, rhubarb and raspberries. Then I abandoned an over-hasty chalk drawing of houses near the park. This evening I sat in the garden and sketched the furrowed and tufted clouds behind the trees. Coloured paper and chalk pastels are what I got into 30 years ago. There's a glow from raw colours when applied in lines, juxtaposed and blended against a contrasting background. |
