Out of the door and into the storm, wrapped up ready for the weather upon me. . . Wind and rain on open ground blowing through and around, connecting and creating with the natural world as the sounds of nature swirl around me. . . With a clipboard and card taped down securely, watercolour pigment drops fell and with the rain danced across the page. I added leaves, seeds and lichens onto the board, to be blown in the wind to create nature’s art with the help of the weather. . . Whatever the weather there is always something you can do, to feed your creativity and it’s healthy too. . . The sound of the wind in the trees, as they creaked aloud, whilst birds calling out about the weather, warning to get to cover. What an adventure it was to be out today. I then retreated indoors to get some cover. . . I’m tempted to stitch some of my nature finds to this piece once it dries. . . Have you been creative today? . . #thewalkingsketchbook #naturesart #nature #connectingwithnature #watercolourpigments #outdoorart #hydruswatercolor #phmartinwatercolor #windart #elementalart #storm #artinstorm #rainyday #stormdennis #watercolours #artistoninstagram

On Friday I ventured over the border to Worcester city to visit some friends and listen to folk tunes. . . Three little sketchbooks, pencils and postcards joined me on my journey and into small hands. . . Sketch 1 & 2 birds inspired Amy (aged 7) sketch 3, Holly (aged 5) enjoyed her doodles and using @carandache pencils and turning them into paints with a @penteluk water brush. Sketch 4, Johnny (aged 3) took his book and pencil and returned with a sketched dinosaur 🦖 How many amazing! . . It was such fun to share this little sketch adventure. Looking forward to seeing what else makes it into their sketchbooks. . . Amy over the weekend took her sketchbook and pencil and sketched whilst she was walking. That was so fabulous to see in a photograph shared with me. . . #thewalkingsketchbook #littlesketches #connectingwithnature #inspiredbynature #sketchbook

Bright blue sky and sunshine, 🌞what a fabulous day. Looking up at the Scots Pine, I felt for the moment I was up in the Caledonia Pine Forest. . . #thewalkingsketchbook #scotspine #sunnyday #bluesky #lunchtimewalk #connectingwithnature #nature #freshair #timeout

I see tree feet.... Discovered on my wander over the weekend. . . #thewalkingsketchbook #trees #treefeet #beechtree #connectingwithnature #walksinnature #itsthelittlethings

Blown in the wind today, I landed in a spot, nestled in the mossy roots of a Field Maple to sketch my postcard for the #momentsketchers postcard exchange, arranged by @raspberrythief . . En-route I had walked up through Bradnor Wood for a spot of Forest Bathing and said Hello to the Ancient Oak. What fine lichens you do have, I chatted away,as I explored its hollowed out trunk. . . I looked out for the Hazel tree flowering, but still no luck @boggydoodles 🤔 . . The Field Maple called me over as I walked out in the field to sketch the view before me. As a raincloud floated over, I cwtched in tight amongst the roots to capture Hanter Hill and Worsell Wood before me. What fun, I thought, as I sketched away, creating this postcard that will find its way, to Betsy at @wanderlustdesigner, all the way South of San Francisco. 🌎✨ . . The postcard is now packaged up ready for its new adventure. Happy travels to your new home. 🌿 . . #thewalkingsketchbook #momentsketchers #sketchedwithlove #sketchmyview #walkingartist #connectingwithnature #fieldmaple #outdoorartist #postcardexchange

The rusty hill cloaked in Bracken, colouring the hills as February begins. . . Autumnal leaves rush across the field in the wind, like children chasing a ball down a hill, then they lift spiralling upwards like a mini toronado up to the sky. . . Puffed-up clouds float by as the green woodpecker sound carries to me on the wind. . . Sunshine bursts out, lighting a flock of sheep on a square field across the valley. A wiggly hedge leads down to some cottages nestled below a tussocky grass field. I wonder what wildlife lives in there? . . Patchwork fields spread up the valley, at the end, a cloak of conifers wraps around the end of the hill. Some fabulous old trees can be found in there. . . I sketched for #momentsketchers monthly challenge today. This is Bradnor Hill and I captured using my @rubymountainpaintco Icelandic paints and my @wildthorne ocean palette. Both made by hand with natural materials with a gritty finish. . #thewalkingsketchbook #momentsketchers #rubymountainpaintco #wildthornewatercolors #bradnorhill #walkingartist #sketching #pleinairpainting #outdoorsketching #connectingwithnature #kingtonrural #watercolourpainting #wildthorne

Yesterday I also sketched the Irish yew in the garden using a @carandache 6B pencil and painted using my @daler_rowney sable brush, @wildthorne ocean paints, which I love. . . The Irish Yew tree with tight branches which curve upwards and a pointy crown on top. The leaves (needles) appear in whorles. They curl around not straight compared to the churchyard yews. You will also come across Irish yew trees in church yards, so now you can see there are different ones. . . The Irish Yew Originates from the 1700’s from a single tree at Florence court in County Tyrone. . . Wales has churchyards stuffed with ancient characterful yew trees. The Defynnog Yew in the Brecon Beacons is impressive. You can discover more on the Ancient Yew Group Gazetteer. In wales there are 445 sites recorded. The Ancient Tree Inventory is also a U.K. recording database of Ancient, Veteran and Notable trees. You might discover some more that are not on there. . . I carry a few tree facts around with me. It enhances my experience of the natural world. . . Art wise @katy_alston inspires me. Especially the way she records natural history. It’s extra special to see. Have a look at her IG feed. Who inspires you? ✨🌿 . What are you planning to sketch today? Don’t forget it’s a #momentsketchers weekend. Wrap up warm and rush outdoors and around a tree to see what you can see. . . I’m heading outside today and will see where the wind takes me. 🌿 . . #thewalkingsketchbook #irishyew #sketching #abstracttrees #treefacts #herefordshire #treeidentification #naturalhistory #trees #seeingnature #connectingwithnature #natureconnection #wildthorne

Stitched on some nature finds. 🧵 With my rucksack on my back and my sketch materials ready to go. This afternoon I’ve been out and about on an adventure. . . I smelt the crocuses in flower before I saw them and the snowdrops were out too. They smiled in the sunshine and even when the drizzle arrived. Such happy little flowers, on this last day of January. . . I felt the need to see today, all the little things in nature. So nestled next to a holly tree and watched the birds flitting in the tree before me. What a treat I had, a family of long-tailed tits rocked up and were bouncing in the tree. Then to my delight a little goldcrest appeared so Tiny to see. I had discovered my pot of gold today, I wish I could have captured a video of it, for you all to seen. I listened to it calling (seep-seep-seep), it didn’t see me. I felt so very lucky to be able to take the time to watch nature around me. . . With my magic moment in my head, I sketched the goldcrest to remember my adventure on the 31st of Jan..uary... it could be a date we will remember. . Inspired by @raspberrythief and @journalingwithnature I had a go at nature journaling what I see. . . Don’t forget this weekend it’s Moment Sketchers once again, so you can head outside on an adventure to sketch what you see. . . #thewalkingsketchbook #goldcrest #longtailedtit #naturejournal #connectingwithnature #seeingnature #nature #spring #outsideart
