Monoprints, lino & St Mary Magdalene

Church of St Mary Magdalene,
Shrewsbury

A small trip outdoors with my paints after spending what seems like weeks hibernating indoors.  I ended up at St Mary Magdalene's Church near Shrewsbury, The church of St Mary Magdalene was built in 1406, as a memorial to those who fell in battle there on the 21st July 1403. (See photos of this church here).

I painted one picture before the light went. I wish the sun had stayed out to create more dramatic shadows. This church is sited near Battlefield 1403 and a nice walk around some historic fishpools.

Other than that I've been working on some printmaking - lino prints, monoprints with Chine-collé technique (glued tissue paper) over collage and some watercolour studies trying to improve my technique. Here are a few samples:

Leicestershire spring countryside 22 April 2011

Here are some more plein air watercolours whilst out on cycle rides in Leicestershire.
Getting back in the swing of things! First, I rode to Wistow and painted the first three from within the same field. Later I rode out to Foston with huge expanses of yellow fields rolling into the distance, this was a successful place to paint, quiet and seemingly miles from anyone. The last two are views around Countesthorpe and Great Glen
