Every year I paint my paintbrushes intheir copper containers and every year I say the same thing: that I want to replace the copper bowls with stoneware containers, simply because the copper is too high maintenance.But once the copper is cleaned and buffed, I succumb before their splendour and so the paintbrushes stay in copper containes yet another year.
This second sketch was done in 2016, also of my copper containers.
There is a whole pathway in Beaulieu where the hydrangeas spill majestically over the lawn by the river. I will have another go at it, because the challenge lies in capturing the burst of pinks and blues and not add too much other detail, like I have done in this sketch.

I am busy doing portraits, a subject I haven’t done for quite some time. And I am having fun! They are all done in pen an watercolour.
