Video and Guidance
The idea of being in the garden again this month is to look for little still life groups and simply spend about 15-20 minutes sketching each one without the pressure of producing a major piece of work. Practice this session a few times over the month and you will be developing your hand/eye co-ordination. Sketching is a very useful way of practicing your observation skills and in the beginning it is essential to remember that it is the practice of it…..the process which is more important than the results. The results will improve over time and if you stick with it you will see the changes in your work generally.
