Your landscape sketches are very confident and free Shirley, this one has buckets of energy!

Thanks, Fiona. I'm using my coloured pencils, water, rubbing with torchon, and white acrylic.

Thank you Katy, Diane, Alan, Diana. It’s a big box of water soluble pencils which I am dipping into after laying the groundwork with my usual combo of two reds, two yellows, two blues and white. Plus torchon to rub, water, and white burnishing. So then I look for some other off beat colours in the box.

About the Artist

Shirley May

Always loved drawing and painting. Studied biology at UEA, PGCE at Sussex, then part-time art studies at Sussex and Brighton, including printmaking. Before Covid I gave a little weekly watercolour class for 7 years. Now I am using acrylics on canvas and paper en plein air whenever possible.
