So I sketched in The Temperate House while "he who must not be bored while I sketch" read a biography of the Rolling Stones. This palm was rather big,

Having admired the magnolias we settled for a piece of cake and a nice cup of tea at the Orangery Cafe. It was great to be able to finally experience the sun making a reappearance while sat on the terrace without the usual omnipresent Yummy Mummies of Kew with their small children racing up and down. I sketched a fir tree and tried to work out how to distinguish the colour from the underside of the parasol.

Wind or no wind, that must have been a delightful day, Katherine. Super sketches, I'd particularly love that one with the umbrella. Lovely composition, colour and mood.
ReplyDeleteYou always do a great job capturing the big picture, looking up from ground level. You make it look far easier than it is, in my experience.
Ditto Robyn's comments.....The sketch outside the orangery is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSuper sketches Katherine - I hope the bluebells will be out in May, when our family wedding is. Love that swanky peacock! Can't get into sketchercise at the moment - it's 'undergoing maintenance' - I hope they're not starting to shut down sites already!
ReplyDeleteSketchercise is working again.
ReplyDeleteHowever I think I need to make a note of the email addresses and set up a back up site in case we get "hiccups" while Ning realises quite how many groups are now leaving!
The photos are lovely as well as that sketch with the umbrella.
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand peacock...and what a great sketch he might make as well!
lovely images
