  • Dear Listener,

    Welcome to another episode of Explore and Draw.

    In each episode I’ll take you with me on a walk, observing and commenting on the landscape around me. I’ll find a place to draw and then share the finished sketch with you below.

    In today’s episode you’ll join me at Kynance Cove on the Lizard peninsula. A cloudy, overcast day with a bit of breeze. I’ve had to zip up my jacket and hood to keep the wind out. I’m using the prompt ‘view’ which is the last of my Summer season prompts. It definitely feels more autumnal on my walk today.

    I’ve used my usual mix of mediums (see photo) along with my relatively new gouache tin which has ready mixed dried paint ready to go. I also pre-painted the pages with a quick glaze of light grey ink and I’m back in my Ranger Dylusions sketchbook.

    It was a complex subject today with a mix of rocky shorelines, islands, stacks, buildings, grass and paths and definitely required some concentration. Still really fun to incorporate a range of textures and details. You get to hear the Choughs that are playing in the area, snippets of conversation and even a tune from me!

    Thanks for listening in and I hope you enjoy the sights and sounds.
