Today I met two experts who showed me treasures.
Pottery specialist, Roy, who let me draw a magnificent piece of a Neolithic pot and a small piece of fired clay, with what appears to be the impression of a finger. Afterwards, the ‘Rock Lady’, Martha, introduced me to the wonders of colour from rocks. When I’m back in my studio, I hope to make some work using these and other pigments from the site.
It was a fine day with time for two watercolours. It should be noted that my portable scanner doesn’t do justice to the nuances of colour in the sky.
Today’s other drawings are from the trench and the office.
Tomorrow we won’t get on site until the afternoon, due to bad weather being forecast.
