You will not see a castle in my sketches. Ardgillan Castle isn't the prettiest, in my mind, anyway. But the day I was there, the last day of our heat wave, there was mist in the morning, and the light over the golden fields was just so pretty!
As is often the case with me, my first sketch is my favourite. It's like when I get somewhere, there is this energy, it's exciting, and I have to capture the moment. Afterwards, I start seeing more, but my mind isn't as focused. Often sketchers or artists will talk about having to do a warmup sketch. For me, it's more like I need cool-down sketches to relax from the adrenaline high of sketching! Yes, I'm a sketch junkie!
After a matcha latte, I felt energised again, and did a couple more sketches!
I like how the paint flowed in this one! The paper in this little square book is Stillman & Birn Alpha. Interesting effects!
