I went with fellow artist Margaret Coombes for a drive to Norfolk Plains area of northern Tasmania today. We were sourcing images for doing an entry in a forthcoming exhibition of the area. Here are a few photos. Tomorrow I will post a picture of an initial small watercolour from one of the photos. When taking photos to paint from I feel composition is a critical factor although alterations can be made. I do not work in a photo realistic manner.. I like to capture the mood or the salient aspect of the location which encouraged me to take the photo in the first place.
Looking forward to the fruits of your ‘day out’ Evelyn.
