I’m currently working on a series of sea sketches which will, hopefully, form part of the backgrounds for a sequence of assemblages I am creating to celebrate the 140th anniversary of the Fishermen’s Mission charity.
It has been a while since I worked on any sea themed works, but as with anything that is in your blood, it’s been easy to get my head and imagination back on to the subject. Working on a sketchbook of seascapes and coastal images helps me get into the correct mind set for the project, and I’m drawing from the many years of sketchbook notes I have in my studio (incredibly, some dating back to 1988!) and working with the best forms to suit the themes.
As the project continues, I’ll post more sketchbook notes and work in progress images, giving a taste of what is to come in the 2021 Fishermen’s Mission celebrations.
