Eurasian blue tit study 1
I took a 7-day Sketchbook course with The Artists Greenhouse early in January to help refresh my creativity. Through that I discovered and tried some new materials and exercises while we drew flowers. Once the course was complete, I decided to use Eurasian blue tits as my subject of study. We have many that visit our back garden daily here in Wales and I adore watching them. I have been longing to study and sketch them. So far, they are too quick and little for my own camera, but there are plenty of references online that I can use until I am fast enough to catch them myself either through a lens or a pencil. This was my first quick study using negative space, Ecoline markers, neocolor wax pastels, a brush and water.
