I've now moved to an A4 Seawhite of Brighton accordion sketchbook which I started while on the Beara Peninsula, and I'm continuing my exploration, using photos I took when I was last there. It's a very different feeling from sketching on location. I can reach to all the colour pencils and wax pencils that are lying around my desk, so you never quite know what you're gonna get. But I do generally reduce the colours for each piece, choosing maybe 6 pencils and 6 Neocolors (watersoluble wax crayons), so I'm not going too crazy. For this one, I did lots of scribbly notes first, so I had a better feel for that wonderful tree that glows in the late afternoon.
