EXPERIMENTATION BEGINS

Mixing ink/sketchbook work

Late January has brought a dusting of snow to the mountain peaks; an opportunity for me to get outside with my paints. I think that the mountains look their most beautiful in the snow; a buttery Winter light spreading over the dusky landscape.

Over the past few days I’ve also been in the studio mixing up inks and preparing my plates for printing, there’s a great deal of experimenting going on!


In the studio, watching the morning sun above Yr Wyddfa. I quickly try to capture the moment in my sketchbook.
