For the last 3 years, I have been making large drawings of wildflowers in charcoal on paper. I have had several exhibitions and so I put off this project until I had a bit more time and space to work on it. But I was planning on continuing in the same way – making more large charcoal drawings on paper, highlighting small and large plants along the Crane and at the nature reserve.
But on my second walk along the river, I am beginning to think perhaps a change of materials, approach, scale, or all of the above might be needed.
I have a small plant in my studio that I collected last visit so this time I came back empty handed – except for tons of photos and the experience of the walk.
