We ventured out for the Sketching the Sense of Place walk for #kingtonwalkingfestival today. Bright sunshine, nature connection and exploring creativity all present as we ambled along our route. Through the trees we listened to the sounds around us, before sketching close up drawing a continuous line and mark-making with inks. Nature we collected became our drawing tools with inks. Sticks, grasses and leaves all leaving interesting marks. Out of the wood and onto the edge of #hergestridge we wandered, up the hill to explore some of my sketches and to meet the Beech Tree which sketched with the wind, and to try painting with plants. As we climbed higher on the Ridge we turned to see our view unfolding before us and found a spot to rest and sketch the view, between Stanner Rocks and Herrock Hill. We shared experiences of using different art materials and chatted about different techniques. . . Time flies by so quick when you are sketching and enjoying the view. Scroll through the images to see some of the fabulous creations and moments from our creative adventure today. . . Thank you so much everyone for coming along. It was so lovely to see you all. Happy sketching adventures. 🌿🎨 . .

Kington Walking Festival starts this week. On Friday 20th September, I’m leading a creative walk ‘Sketching a sense of Place.’ It’s FULLY BOOKED and I’m super-excited about heading out with those booked on for a creative adventure. . . I was out at the weekend in the sunshine, walking the route in preparation. Just have a few things to gather in advance and I have sunshine on order. . . If you are coming along, gather your materials and grab your favourite sketchbook and I’ll see you Friday! 🤗 . . #thewalkingsketchbook #kingtonwalkingfestival #creativewalk #senseofplace #connectingwithnature #outdoorart #kingtonwalks

On the spur of the moment this evening, I packed my rucksack and we headed to the #elanvalley for a walk. It was such a beautiful evening and after our walk, I reached for my paints and paper to sketch my view. The rocky cliff next to the dam with the reservoir below caught my eye. I could also see a conifer plantation in the distance. It was getting close to dusk, but I had just enough light to capture our location. The sound of the water flowed from the dam and there was a cool breeze to the air. I had a few flying visitors to keep me company. As well as a tiny red spider which was running all over my coat as I sketched away. . . On the way home, the we had such a beautiful sunset and the sky turned orange and then red. . . #thewalkingsketchbook #elan #elanvalley #elanvalleydams #walkingartist #pleinair #landscapeart #creativeadventure #wildthornewatercolors #carandache #windsorandnewtonwatercolor

I’ve been out in the sunshine today, connecting and discovering nature treasures. I found these gorgeous red acer leaves and the paper bark on the ground, highlighting the signs of Autumn. Such amazing colours to come. . . I’ve been walking my route ahead of the #kingtonwalkingfestival to see what catches my eye along the way. Saw this bright coloured fungus, a red beetle cane to say hello. . . The weather forecast mentions sunshine for the walk next Friday. So very excited about that. A little bit more preparations to do and looking forward to seeing everyone booked on next week. For those booked on,if you have any questions, just let me know. So far we have two styles to climb over on route. . #thewalkingsketchbook #kingtonwalkingfestival #creativewalk #walkingartist #connectingwithnature

A sketch created whilst sat on a rock, below a wind swept tree, looking Hay way. As the sun was shining down and the wind swirled around me. . . #thewalkingsketchbook #thewalkingartist #sketchbook #gouache #carandache #mixedmedia #haybluff #sketchoutdoors #myturnerpaints #myturnerpaint

With my rucksack packed and bags of inspiration bubbling away from the H.Art trail, I headed to the landscape below #haybluff for #momentsketchers this month. Abstract and colour was the feel of the day and a different way to look at the landscape. . . With the sun shining bright and the fresh breeze on my face, out came my @turnercolourworks acrylic Gouache paints, @carandache pencils and wax pastels, @artgraf pigments for a mixed media creation. . . What an inspiring landscape I was sat within, below a wizardy hawthorn tree absorbing my creative activity. What stories could this tree tell? . . Some wild ponies in the distance were entertained by my busyness and watched on from the shade of some trees. . . It was so good to be out, connecting with the landscape. Walking to find the right spot and taking the time to absorb nature around me. . . Have you managed to be creative this weekend? If so, what inspired your creativity? . . #momentsketchers #thewalkingsketchbook #herefordshire #sketchbook #walkingartist #haybluffinthebackground #enpleinair #mixedmedia #carandache #artgraf #walkingartist #creativewalk #myturnerpaint #sketchoutdoors #myturnerpaint
