Sketching Nature (and Coffee and cake!)
More sketching and sketches from our very lovely students in Australia this week. Some on the last of their course and some beginning the next.
We’ve been looking deeply into the designs we see in nature. The flowers and leaves we sketched were roadside specimens which you often don’t notice. When one takes time to study these leaves, or flowers or buds it blows your mind. These are things we so take for granted but everything around us is extraordinary.
As you may have discovered, sketching definitely becomes addictive. At times like this having an interest which is meditative, relaxing, non stressful, non competitive and brings you together with other like minded people, couldn’t be more important. Not only for students but also for we tutors.
More classes are starting soon and Sunday Workshops are open for bookings in Kingscliff Beach, NSW and Gold Coast Queensland.
Another favourite we’re bringing back is the 2night Midweek Getaway. Take a look at the details here and - if you’re in NSW - do book in. I’d adore to show you how beautiful this northern Tweed Rivers area is. You deserve it. Pick your days and let’s get going. And guess what. Doesn’t matter if you’ve sketched before or not!
You may notice at least 3 line sketches followed by a colour version. I know many of you, who can’t come to classes here in Australia, love to try sketching what we do during the week. See how you get on with this one and do post your finished sketches.
Here we go.
