Plenty of opportunity to draw in my back garden at the
moment with the weather being so good. I drew each of the plant detail spreads
over several days, trying to find different leaf shapes and tones of green. With
the plant pages I just used direct watercolour but I put down some pencil lines
first on the one with the backs of the houses.

I've been enjoying your blog and going through month by month. I particularly like this back yard drawing. Do you start from foreground and work your way back or visa versa.
ReplyDeleteYes, tend to lay down a light shape of tone then work over with more detail.
