Drawing

Dead tree Epsom common pen on paper

If you are planning to come on the 27th of August, it is an 11 o'clock start, meet at Stamford Green pond (near the Cricketers pub) which is 15 mins walk from Epsom Station. 

This drawing was made on my last visit to Epsom common, it is one of the dead trees that seem to have been struck by lightning. It is blackened and contorted. It takes longer to draw a tree than photograph it and I think you do take more in at the time and remember more when you re visit a drawing, rather than a photograph.

Having said this I spend a long time pouring over other artists photographs too.
