A New Departure

In recent months printmaking has become rather difficult, so, in an attempt to keep my hand in and maybe develop new skills, I have been taking part in plein air sessions with my local art society friends. It began as rather a challenge, it has become an absolute pleasure. Both observational and drawing skills have progressed and I am printing again!

Here are a few of my plein air efforts, views around my home town of Saffron Walden.
