A considered approach to landscape drawing from the recognised expertise of an accomplished artist and sculptor who loves the Australian bush.
Throughout my life, I’ve been impressed by the Australian landscape. As a child holidaying on the coast; at my homes at Lightning Ridge and Narrabri. The landscape has always evoked a deep emotional response.
At times the immediate response to the landscape can be best caught with the spontaneity of the humble pencil.
When I was young, it was rare for me not to be drawing – preferring to have pencil in hand moreso than anything else. As I matured, both physically and artistically, I felt it necessary to take a logical step and paint. Painting was seemingly an acceptable medium to produce ‘finished’ works.
It wasn’t until I met the magician of landscape painting, Les Graham, that I discovered that drawing could be an end product in itself … not just a means of working up ideas.
