http://naturalsketchbookexchange.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 28 April 2015. March, the last! I've finished my tour and I thank the Golden Ladies for having been with me during these last 15 months. I'll take advantage of the sketchbook of G. L. Debbie for drawing a true beauty of the natur : the cat! Micia on a mulberry tree. Illustration of a song about cats that my mother sang when I was a child. Micia and the Christmas tree. Not a my drawing. Micia on the sketchbook of G. L. Debbie. Good Bye everyone and good luck from the G. B. In the past :. The firs...

Nature Trails 2014 - A Natural Sketchbook Exchange: December 2014

Saturday, 6 December 2014. Feeling Festive with Veggiebaubles. Ooh, I haven't posted here for a little while, but I can't resist a celebration. For the December and January sketchbooks it's all about celebration. Christmas and New Year is always a good time to let the creative hair down and really go to town on a composition. For Christmas we get a red onion with a raffia tie hanging from the top of the page. Seriously OTT I know, but I just loved this idea and really wanted to go for it. Julie Douglas D...

Nature Trails 2014 - A Natural Sketchbook Exchange: February 2014
http://naturalsketchbookexchange.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Friday, 21 February 2014. From green to purple red. Citruses show a wide range of colours from the yellow-green to the purple red. I thought that it would have been easy to me to paint some segments, but in fact I found it difficult, even if in the citruses the colour doesn't change with the time and these fruits keep long their freshness. The most difficult colour I've found has been the orange and the way for showing its transparence through the segments. Yellow fluorite (my collection). I had some bul...

Nature Trails 2014 - A Natural Sketchbook Exchange: November 2014
http://naturalsketchbookexchange.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 19 November 2014. Three for the price of one. and it's all ORANGE! Having not had a sketch book to work on all summer, I was surprised to realise that I quite missed it. There was something, after the intitial horror in January when this project began, rather nice knowing that a book was in the corner waiting for my attention. But my summer was busy and I was glad of the break. Until the day the post man delivered me three books at once. For having THREE books was really daunting). And I moved...

Nature Trails 2014 - A Natural Sketchbook Exchange: September 2014
http://naturalsketchbookexchange.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 17 September 2014. It has been an amazingly busy year and although I am thoroughly enjoying the sketchbook exchange I have been rather slow to follow up with the companion blog. It's time I made an effort to get up to date I think. Here is the first of several I plan to post in the coming days. Coral fossil from the Burren, Co. Clare, Ireland. View of Mullaghmore with turloughs in the middle ground. My plant for the Irish Botanical Alphabet Exhibition, Aibítir. Monday, 1 September 2014. So sin...

http://naturalsketchbookexchange.blogspot.com/2015/04/january.html
Friday, 10 April 2015. The tree of lemons entered Europe. Near southern Italy no later than the first century AD, during the time of Ancient Rome. However, they were not widely cultivated. They were later introduced to Persia and then to Iraq and Egypt around 700 AD. The lemon was first recorded in literature in a 10th-century Arabic treatise on farming, and was also used as an ornamental plant in early Islamic gardens. Lemon juice and rind are used to make marmalade and lemon liqueur. Lemon slices a...

http://naturalsketchbookexchange.blogspot.com/2015/03/october-and-olives-spontaneous-olive.html
Thursday, 19 March 2015. Spontaneous olive tree in my garden. No one planted these trees. For some time I wondered why these trees were growing well and quickly without beeing planted by someone. The answer is obvious and it is in the following drawing I did years ago. The nice is that the trees (that should be wild) produce olives : many, good and of different sorts! I drew on pen the trunk of this strong, alive, useful and dedicated plant. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Winsor and Newton inks.
