I needed to go to Bendigo this week, and on the way home I took a hike up to the top of Hanging Rock. https://walkingmaps.com.au/walk/3668
Whew - thought I was going to die - that hill is steep! I got to the Saddle and wasn't too disappointed that the last 300metres to the Summit had been closed due to Covid. But while I was waiting for my heart to stop trying to leap out of my chest, I sat down and did a small landscape drawing of the rocks and view from the Ampitheatre/Maze.
Method: Initial drawing in Derwent 4B watersoluble graphite then washed to create tone blocks. Once dry Windsor Newton Pan Watercolour washes to add some colours. On top of that Adel Black pen that was also wetted to create interesting blocks of tone and finally, some dry Adel pen for details. Windsor Newton 300gsm Watercolour sketchbook, A5. It took about 45 minutes and a cold bottom to complete.
