As the arctic blasts return, it's bad timing for this topic!! At least we're not meeting in some chilly park....
A useful video for drawing landscape-design trees, starting with a circle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
Another line of attack for this theme is via gardens in the history of art; Monet, anyone?
Or, look out the window into a garden...
From Joyce - This is a collage I made yesterday at a zoom workshop by the Curwen Print Study Centre. The Pagoda is a transfer image print, all prints made on my Gelli plate, my latest lockdown toy!
From Ann - Memories of sketching this scene in the sunny garden of a lovely small hotel in Breil sur Royale, south of France. As the waitress prepares a table for lunch ....
From Judith - Mostly painted indoors as so cold but very cheering in the garden.
From Sue K - used a pic taken in sun & warmth the other day!
From Carol - Starlings squabbling on the feeder. I have enjoyed encouraging birds into the garden this year.
From Janet K - My alpine strawberry plant survived the winter outside and now is flowering!
From Mags - I did several quick sketches... My favourite is the one with green Pitt Calligraphy Pen in A6 daily sketchbook. In regards to the other - note to self to test pen is waterproof before adding watercolour....
From Janet B - My garden is looking particularly woebegone at the moment so I drew this selection of pots and plants from photos and memory. I never realised quite how many green pencils I had, none of them the right shade obviously, but it was fun to play with them all.
From Gill - My camellia and euphorbia in full bloom.
A drawing done with my left hand then ink added as I couldn’t resist using colour.
From me - Clippings from very very old sage plants that we took out of the garden - they resembled wild beasts -
Brought indoors and left to roam...
