Sketchbook work

Ready for Home

We've just had a few days in North Yorkshire and taken some lovely photos.  This one really captured my imagination.  I wonder which of the swallows will make it across the miles?







Ready for home.

I used a sponge for the dappled sky, white paint splodges for the birds' body and tried for calligraphy type marks for the wings and tails.  I just wanted the feel of imminent departure and fragility.  I'm quite pleased with this.
