St James in mixed media

January 20, 2025 | 3 Comments


Here is a sketch of St James that I did last week.

I have sketched this building many times (it has its own tag!) and on this occasion, I was thinking how much I’m currently enjoying….

  • mixing media in unexpected ways,
  • using different colours and ‘fun’ hue combinations (I’m particularly enjoying using crazy bright unnatural greens!)
  • working with opaque and semi-opaque media and
  • seeing my unique mark-making in different media.

    That vivid, nearly neon green tree really has so much fun and texture and color in it! Quite the departure away from the grayish greens when you walking in Lane Cove every day! Love seeing all the experimentation. It’s so freeing to play!

      Hi Jamie – yes different from the native greens but many of the northern hemisphere trees in streets are that lovely bright summer green!
