Drawing Practice - Danby Beacon

Another very wet day today with glimpses of sun in between.  So a good day to work out some art ideas based on our holiday.  I want to incorporate colours seen out on the hills, though my first try today,  (a different study from the blip I've shared) has wonderful colours I think it's going to be too strong to incorporate the figurative elements.  So maybe I'll be able to use that in a different way.

In extra -  a record for me of the way the sketch is developing to incorporate the landscape.  A first attempt to use coloured watercolour alongside the water based brush dye - so some challenges deciding where to allow the water to run and blur the boundaries.

Also a day for sorting out even more washing from our holiday, for watering the tomato plants and for picking a glut of runner beans and a couple of courgettes.  Our neighbours have been helping themselves to courgettes but apparently don't like runner beans, so still plenty left for us.
