Back garden drawing


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.






 Drawn in a Stillman and Birn 10 x 8 inch Zeta sketchbook

  1. 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.

    1. Yes, tend to lay down a light shape of tone then work over with more detail.
