4.3.1 Wax rubbings I was staying with my sister (Vivienne) when I did this chapter so we had great fun going round her house and garden finding things to rub and now have sheets of them. Some worked better than others and I especially like the grid ones, air bricks and drains.
E.A. I also now have sheets of colour washed rubbings. I think my efforts only work as backgrounds and need something more exciting adding.
4.3.2 Looking for texture. I do love getting out with my camera, this time to Sissinghurst Castle, the sun shone and the spring flowers beautiful. I also looked through old photos for more but restricted myself to 2 holidays.
4.3.3 Drawing texture. This exercise really made me look and think. I liked using the Sharpies but, of course, pencils were easier to control to give light and dark. Looking back I can see which things I enjoyed drawing and those I hurried or found difficult. eg. tree moss - hurried, coral - difficult.
