Enjoying a fantastic day at Derwentwater capturing the breathtaking scenery through sketches.
Derwentwater is the third largest of the Cumbrian Lakes and is three mile long and one a half miles wide; it is unusual as it has four islands; Derwent, Lords, Rampsholme and St.Helbert's dotted along it's length.
While the Launches move at a leisurely speed, capturing the fleeting scenery demands the skill to swiftly outline the primary shapes. Therefore, I chose to utilize willow charcoal for sketching, as it enables diverse mark-making and contributes to the creation of a picturesque landscape.
Taking a leisurely stroll along the shoreline presented additional opportunities for sketching, including the renowned perspective from Friar's Craig.
Get ready for a sunny week ahead! Make sure to soak up those rays and let your creativity shine!
Until next time.
