Hello and welcome!
We are so excited to be launching The Sketching Sisters, and our first challenge will be celebrating the beauty of the late winter hedgerows that we are seeing on our daily walks!
Although Spring is (hopefully) just around the corner, North Devon remains wintry. February brought so much rain and the hedgerows have yet to sprout new buds and leaves but I can’t help finding a raw beauty to them at this stage. They have such beautiful muted colours and interesting stark shapes from the bare branches I am looking forward to trying to capture their essence through mark making using charcoal.
