I think these four are the most successful ones (all are in a landscape sketchbook, about 9" x 12")...
This one is in mixed media - ordinary ink pen, graphite pencil, indian ink and a little watercolour... the stratus-to-cumulus clouds are perhaps darker than intended, but this adds to the impending sense of rain ahead...
This sketch is a little more gestural, drawn very quickly, the sky appeared darker than the fields in places (the sun came out sporadically). I used an Indian ink pen (with a nib more like a stiff pointy brush) and some watercolour.
Looking up towards the hill. I didn't add any tone to the fields as I liked the gentle movement in the lines - and I was concentrating more on the scrubby hedgerow, the curved perspective of the road and the line of telegraph poles. Sometimes you stop doing a drawing not because it is finished, but because it says just enough as it is...
A ploughed field... as the sun went in and out the long hedgerow cast shadows in line with the furrows... I think I need to find out (via an old map) if any of these fields have local names...There can be no better way of experiencing landscape than through immediate drawing - out in the elements, moving focus, drawn to the gestures and details of ploughed striations and meandering hedgerows, aware of the changing light and the weather (it began to rain...)
