Landscape studies and paintings of trees in the area around my home in the north east of Scotland and of the highland moors and marshlands.

trees by a brook stage one
10 x 14 inches coloured pencils on cartridge paper. A beginning, it is interesting when working away that we often fail to stand back and look with a fresh eye at our work! In my haste to get the fields done I can now see how yellow the colour is. I am planning on continuing with this and will make those changes! I love pastoral scenes, yes it is true even though I tend to paint mostly seascapes but this is the kind of soft meadow lands that I grew up with and remain a firm favourite of mine when I focus on my drawings. I hope to find my colouring pencils again to continue with this scene as since the decorating is in mid flow I can still not find a thing in my art room as it has become a storage area! Thank you for visiting my blog!

A nice one... I wonder how you hold your pencils...
Hi Ulrike, thank you. I am drawing in the normal manner as I do with graphite. I don't hold the pencils as if I am writing a letter!
