This is my attempt at capturing the band of colours I mentioned here. Pretty subtle. It took some observing to be able to distinguish the colours, and even then, it’s probably quite subjective.

Manuka tree
I love sketching trees. They’re challenging because of all the detail, but they’re also fun. There are so many different kinds, they each have a different character. and they really encourage varied mark-making and gestures. I can see why landscape painters love to paint them. This is one from my backyard.
Mt Taranaki
Sketched this outside today. Just need to learn to make better marks for believable trees. 😆

This is a plein-air sketch from a few days ago.
