This week I made an impromptu visit to the San Francisco Botanical Gardens with my friend Maybelle, to do some sketching.
I realised I haven’t done any outdoor sketching for a while, so it was good to get my hands dirty. I worked in pencil to draw this view of reflections in the pond, looking for texture and shape.
It was lovely to wander around and be surrounded by so much green!
We had a picnic lunch and I tried out a colour pencil sketch of the layers of trees.
The early evenings mean early sunsets, and on that day, it was particularly lovely.
