I visited Northampton, Massachusetts this past Sunday and did this drawing of a garden there. It was situated behind an old factory building that had been turned into a building full of shops. I sat outside the back entrance on a little tripod stool and drew this in ink. I painted the watercolor later at home. I wanted to give the impression of a garden that was tightly packed because that was the first thing that I thought of when I saw it. To read more about my weekend, you can read my blog post here.
I like it very much. Another thing I should try more often: drawing gardens!
ReplyDeleteGardens are so wonderful...you did a terrific job getting the lush, tightly packed idea across, Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I really love how you've managed to really capture the differences of each plant!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed at all of the different greens and textures you managed to create. It's a wonderful ink and watercolor piece! It looks like it was a relaxing thing to do.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking the same thing as Elizabeth - a wonderful assortment of greens for the foliage, all natural and descriptive. And all the different textures - a real study of a garden! I think I see round purple chive blossoms back there?
