Out and about sketching this summer

The waterfall at Furnace, near Machynlleth, Wales.
I started by drawing with a white gell pen on the toned paper and then added gouache.

Sketched in a short dry spell between very, heavy rain.   We were camping in a field and were fine but 3 or 4 fields away from us the grass was totally under water.

There is an interesting mid-18th century charcoal iron furnace next to the waterfall and sometimes you can the the waterwheel in operation.

I yearn for the sea...

I yearn for the sea... and I live in Wolverhampton in the West Midlands!   This 'Stormy Seas' linoprint was created after sketching the sea on the beautiful Welsh coast. I then created a design, transfered it onto a piece of lino, 'carved' the lino, rolled ink onto the surface, placed Japanese printing paper on the top and printed it using my press in my studio.

 You can see this origninal, limited edition unframed lino print in the on-line art shop Artfinder
