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:

This last image is inspired by my Italian sketchbooks. I'm still slightly haunted by the shapes of the trees and colours I found out there. |
