This Saturday I’ll be taking part in Paint Garstang 2026! Situated along the canal capturing the view from the viaduct over the River Wyre🌿🌱
Last year was such a daunting first for me having sworn I’d never be able to finish a piece - let alone a landscape - in any sort of time restraints where people come come and view it when it might be vering off course. And certainly not one I’d be proud enough to exhibit. But lo and behold I had such a fun day, it felt amazing being a part of the event.
A year on, defiantly still not having landscapes as my forte, but I’m so excited to get cracking! Being able to let go, have fun and get messy with it! Such a contrast in nerves from last year. Really reviling in less perfection more doing!
Still choosing between charcoal and pastels, but a smudgey, nondescript image with lots of room for interpretation is on the cards 😆
So this might not be my best piece, but it’s great to be buzzing for the challenge!
Come along and say hi if you’re in the area, and feel free to offer any words of encouragement no matter what stage the drawing is at 😆
