Sketch Across the World 2021 - the Elan Valley part 2

by Alice Savery

For our Sketch Across the World 2021 creative adventure, we went to the Elan Valley. After sketching on the mountain road in the morning, Kath (The Walking Sketchbook) and I relocated to the river for the afternoon.

I started with inks here, playing with a range of pens. I then added watercolour.

I enjoyed this setting so much that I wanted to paint more. So I turned around and faced downstream and did another one!

I loved playing with lots of different mediums with this piece too - all the pens, pencils, ink and watercolour!

It was beautiful by the river. So peaceful, and sunny and calm. We lost a couple of hours happily creating independently, about 20m or so apart on the river bank. It is lovely to have a creative adventure this way - doing your own thing and then meeting up to chat about what you have each created.
