pages from the sketch book

The selection seems rather hotchpotch now I have collected them together, but a great deal of this was about my buying a selection of gouache paint tubes and trying again not to be frightened to sketch / paint with colour. I watched a dvd of Mary Fadden at work with gouache which gave me joy not least because she also used collage with pieces of former prints or paintings and that seemed apposite given this section of the course.

Colour washes of the sky and sea and the small glens around the house have made me see new colours and combinations of colour not noticed before and of course this is a never ending exploration as the light and seasons change !!
