I finally found the time to complete the picture collage of the flowering shrubs I started drawing earlier in the year. I think I've managed to draw them all but I had to add a couple of drawings from my folder to make up the 20 I needed to fill the frame.
Back to sketchbook no 38 which I keep on the coffee table so I can draw in the evening when I sit down with my aperitif. This little Hellebore plant came from Lidl and is a delight with it's white flowers turning lime green as they mature.
I had wanted to sweep the leaves in the garden for a couple of weeks but the rain was too heavy and the wind too strong and when the sun finally came out they had all been blown away over the bank or into my neighbour's garden. There were some leaves on the flower beds which the black bird flicked all over the grass again though.
On Thursday I walked down the lane to visit a friend and came face to face with a wild boar grazing in a field. I was disappointed I didn't have my camera with me but I kept the image in my head to draw when I came home later. I must admit I was pretty scared as these wild animals have a reputation for being very ferocious!
My friend Rose Jones sent me a lovely mushroom picture to draw so I decided to try some pointillism, it took ages to do but I think worth the effort!
Another friend also sent a picture which I drew in the Triplus pens washed with water.
