My #Sketchbook is filling up nicely. Love taking My #Sketchbook is filling up nicely. Love taking it with me everywhere and using it to capture anything that moves me, whenever I have a bit of time! I’ve been doing lots of experimenting with watercolour, ink, and the old trusty black pen. It doesn’t always work out, but that’s what the sketchbook is for, play. 🖊🙃✨ #artistsketchbook#sketchingfromlife#artistlife#penandink#watercolour#gouache#inspiredlife#sketchdaily
Highlight of the trip last week was painting at th Highlight of the trip last week was painting at the Den of Nargun, Mitchell River. Huge trees with roots wrapped around massive river stones covered in moss, tangled vines everywhere, flowing streams and waterfalls. A magnificent place, straight out of a fairytale picture book!

I’ve been on an art retreat in #Glenaladale, tak I’ve been on an art retreat in #Glenaladale, taking in the landscape and painting plein air everyday for a week. This immersive experience in nature with my camera, sketchbook, paints and hiking boots is just what I needed to recharge those artistic batteries! Good food, stimulating conversation with artist friends next to a fireplace, what a delight! Getting up every morning to capture the sunrises was my favourite part. 🌅 I made many studies to refer to back in my studio as I reflect on the experience and apply what I’ve learned to my landscape paintings. Looking forward to sharing the artwork! How are you feeding your inner artist? Hope you take some time to recharge too. #artretreat#countrylife#artistinnature#inspiredbynature#morninglight#countryvictoria#artlife#inspiredartist @art_by_olga_d @libbywitchellartist
