More playing around in my workbook this week after an overcast, misty and very cold trip up to Burnham Overy Marsh on the north Norfolk coast earlier in the week.

A few recent workbook spreads and a collage/mixed media piece. I’m trying to get a handle on my current obsession, Burnham Overy Marsh and creek on the north Norfolk coast.

I love the expanse of sand and mud when the tide retreats, the marks left by wading birds, the dark breakwaters and remains of bank supports, channel markers tilting at the sky, sunlit drainage channels lined with reeds and broken fencing, bright light on water.

Experiments with expressive painting and drawing techniques to loosen up and develop my mark making.
Exciting, fun and frustrating by turns, I’ve found it a worthwhile exercise.
These are painted with acrylics and Inktense sticks, plus gesso, on 300gsm 30×20″ watercolour paper.
