Prepared for the Workshop

Aug 8, 2024

 

 

You never know how the weather would be like when you announce a workshop for summer and especially in the garden.

Better you prepare for sunny and for rainy weather or better also for a day full of rain. How? I must confess I’m so lucky to have a kind of panorama window to the garden. That makes a relieving feeling when it comes to weather.

 

 

 

 

 

So, I got prepared and did some sketches in advance not knowing with which materials the girls would turn up. So, I mixed them, coloured pencils with watercolour pencils and fineliners, always the real subjects in sight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the end I was well prepared with some paper to remember learned things and some goodies that are nice to have as well as being of big help when you paint or draw outside or from the garden atelier with a great look outside.

Willow called Nefertiti

Apr 16, 2024

There’s a willow in our new garden that had quite long brushes and made a nice shade. They almost reached the table nearby. My partner was very ambitious to cut the brushes in winter and now there are just some little green leaves getting enough sounlight to grow.

I see this willow every morning when I look out of the window of the bedroom and it’s a big relief to have this view to the garden when you are caught a cold before Easter. Before the holidays I bought the Pilot Parallel Pen I saw in a video.

Now there was the chance to use it: Seeing this naked willow we named Nefertiti because the profile looks very similar, I took pen and paper and sketched the tree directly from the bed.

What about your views from the bedroom? There might be also something that is worth sketching…
