Sketchbooks and Scale 🐘🐜. A short look at the various random sketches which I have around me at the moment.

Malvern has a huge number of mature trees. Those Victorians were very forward thinking about planting trees. Many gardens boast a beautiful mature tree! So lots of spare subjects to paint another day…
This is a tree in the Priory graveyard in the town centre.
My first oil in town itself.

Here’s the second from Wednesday - so have a look at my previous post for it’s origins 🍁

I had to tweak the canopy as it wasn’t depicting the thinness of the leaf cover originally. I’m happier with it now 🖤

I have to thank my ‘plein air’ students for this one! 🙏
(and another that I will post at another time)
Why? 🤔
Well ….I often paint as demonstration when I teach, but with today’s plein air group, it is less formal teaching and more mentoring, and as such I spend lots of time talking with my students and helping them to draw and paint.
To draw and paint well you must learn to look. 👀
So today, as last time, we looked. 👀We looked at The Malvern Common behind the house. 👀 We looked at the trees. We mixed and matched colour and we looked for tone. 👀
I didn’t paint. But I did look! Which is all part of the process and process is a big part of art practice. Finished artworks grow out of process.
Anyway…I think I looked so hard with my students in the morning, that I couldn’t wait to get these paintings down in the afternoon!
They just fell out! Painted themselves!
So thank you Plein Air Group! See you next week. 🖤
