Of inspiration and how it is sometimes triggered…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watercolour pencils are very useful for quick sketches as well as for longer work. There are some I really like because they are fully soluble and lightfast. I usually buy them singly or in small pack, but this winter I got the full range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I drew the full scale, as it is useful to know how they behave when partly dissolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then one in oils:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then a larger oil painting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then I moved away from the banding, but retained some elements, such as the colours and black framing, for my next one, Clitherbeck:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So sometimes a tin of pencils can lead to a large oil painting. There are always many projects and scenes clamouring for my attention, and I’m now working on something completely different, although in the same vertical format…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
