A word from Alice - studio stories from Alice Draws the Line

This year I joined Kath (The Walking Sketchbook) for a sketch adventure in Park Wood, at Hergest Croft Gardens. It's not too far from the studio which is great. 

It was lovely sat on a log drawing the bluebells with all the bright green beech leaves - and then a cuckoo called from the ridge - and continued to call as we drew and had lunch in the woods.

I spotted my first bluebell of the year a couple of weeks ago. Six days ago I returned to see how they were getting on and there were many more appearing.

This morning I went to find them before opening up the studio. 

There is a carpet of blue now! 

I paused for a minute and did some quick studies in the A6 sketchbook I'd put in my coat pocket.
