June morning

Dear Listener,Welcome to another episode of Explore and Draw.In each episode I’ll take you with me on a walk, observing and commenting on the landscape around me. I’ll find a place to draw and then share the finished sketch with you below.Join me today for an early morning sketch down at Porthallow cove. It was a lovely, clear, bright, sunny day and even before 8.30am I could feel the heat of the Summer sun. I sketched for around 15 minutes, keeping it short as I was due to be at Roskorwell Lavender farm leading a creative sketchbook workshop at 9.30am. You’ll see I also sketched on a postcard rather than in my sketchbook. I thought it would make a nice change and a fun project to add to over the Summer season. This time my materials were an oil Pitt pencil with Daniel Smith watercolour and a tube of white gouache. This is a public episode.
