This summer I have filled a small A5 sketchbook with watercolour, pencil and pen drawings that I have been updating everyday by going on journeys around various parts of my village, Ashover. I tried to emphasise on the use of colour and the way light reflects upon landscapes to create a impressionistic effect to the sketchbook. Over time I started to learn new things about field studies. Such as sometimes it is best to be quick about what you are doing and not to worry about fine detail. I believe this sketchbook represents a journey and a insight into my summer. I started on one side of the valley in the Fabrick woods, then slowly working my way down to where my house is, then to the bottom of the valley where the amber river is and the working my way up the other side of the valley into Hate woods. There is of course certain anomalies such as the time I spent in Tupton and the Cost cross area. But this shows my summer in great detail. Overall I am very proud of this sketchbook as it acts a diary and a account of my summer through art.
