Mulling over a title as I work….

‘Gathering’ #2
New monotype with pencil drawing.
Experimenting with lighter colours, but trying to keep the same atmospheric feel as my darker pieces.
I love the quiet found amongst the fir trees at Burrator.

A great couple of days of printmaking, first with Emma @princetownpress.bsky.social for a Heritage Letterpress Workshop. Lots of great tuition & a hoard of prints to take away.
Then a day making #Dartmoor inspired monotypes at home.
Printmaking bliss!

Getting down to some drawing this afternoon.
Using ink pen to draw the trees on top of the monotypes I made a couple of weeks ago.
Inspired by a beautifully misty area in the trees near Burrator, Devon.
Nearly there, I think….

Got my printing press out for the first time this year!
Spent a few lovely hours looking at ideas & making 3 Dartmoor inspired monotypes.
Once they are dry, I will draw trees on the top with ink pen.
The wide landscape will then be brought in to a more intimate view.🤞

A gathering of trees at Devonport Park.
As well as drawing, I also make monotype prints. I’ve started a series of monotypes on the theme of gathering.
When the print is dry, I draw trees on the top.
I think I’ll use this drawing again for another in the series.

Still in Devonport Park for today’s drawing of a Holm Oak.
This beautiful specimen carries great grandeur in the corner of the park.
Definitely one that I will come back to.
Biro on paper.

A drawing of the leaves of yesterday’s lime tree.
I had zoomed in on the leaves to identify the tree, but then thought the image would make a nice drawing too.

I visited Devonport Park in Plymouth last week. It’s not a park I know very well, but it was lovely to see how well it’s looked after.
I picked out a few special trees to photograph and will be drawing them over the next few days.
Here’s one: a beautifully shaped Lime tree.

Inspired by Shona Grant’s @monde.bsky.social beautiful outline drawing, I thought I’d have a go with the twisting branches of the Lucombe Oak.
It’s interesting to think where this type of drawing can go. My first thoughts are usually to fill with colour to create abstraction….

The same Lucombe Oak tree, but, mire or less, the whole tree, when it was standing.
Beautiful mad, twisty limbs.

This tree is the wonderfully majestic Lucombe Oak in Widey Woods, Plymouth. Sadly, with a hollow base and very tall, twisting branches, it fell during a storm a year ago.
I e drawn it many times, so it felt like the loss of an d friend.

A veteran Oak from Bluebell Woods, the closest woods to my home in the city.
Another more sketchy style of working, giving a feel for the structure of the tree, but, I feel, by leaving the background empty, it ‘floats’ a bit…?
It’s good to experiment sometimes!

Lambhay Hill in Plymouth is close to the area of The Hoe, where there are quite a lot of great trees, including this one (a lime, I think)
I’ve really enjoyed drawing the overall leaf shape of this one. So I’ll be on the look out for more.

The Widey Oak is a great ancient oak in Widey Woods, Plymouth.
Estimated to be 500+ years old, it could tell a few stories.
One to be treasured.

I like the marks on the trunk and larger branches, but feel the rest of it lost its way a little.

Sometimes I go to a specific site for a particular ancient, veteran or notable tree, but I always take photos of trees whenever I’m walking through woods & forests.
