A daily practice of sketching and painting gives you a chance to exercise the big three P's - practice, practice, practice!
Hiking Trail - watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm 8" x 6" - Maree©
During my horse riding days, we used to go visit some friends on horse-back up in Hillside, about 10koms from us, taking a short-cut through the brick yard up this little trail, passing the Pelindaba rocks I sketched in a previous post. It is beautiful here, with prickly ferns, indigenous wild flowers and a large variety of wild grasses to sketch and photograph.
It's not really a hiking trail, just a short-cut used by the locals moving between Hillside and Vlakplaas, where we live, which cuts out about 5kms, a lot when you're on foot!
Great painting Maree. I especially like the flowers at the front on the left. They really bring it to life!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting Marree love the colors and textures in this one. Short cuts are the best because they aren't well known to others...your special place magical escape.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandra, would liked to have shown more of the flowers, but next time!
ReplyDeleteThank you Crista!
