I saw this in the gallery Arthur. I love the patterns and the almost silhouetted birds against the chaos of the beach - I think any more detail in the birds would have spoiled the effect - it's great.
I love the blackbird drawing - definitely one for the future.

Salthouse Marshes today

great set of sketches, full of rythym, and in my opinion there aren't enough people who take the time to look up a bird's bum! The top right avocet, just to the left of the gull is perfectly captured, the angle, the pose and the balance. Excellent, keep it up!

timwootton · Sunday 11th March 2007, 17:21

Lovely group of drawings, Arthur. They show you are really 'looking' at the birds. Great stuff.

ARTHUR BISHOP · Sunday 11th March 2007, 21:15

thank you both , just by accident from the rear they kept moving that way

Woody · Monday 12th March 2007, 08:04

That's a nice page of sketches Arthur. Can we look forward to an avocet painting?

Woody

ARTHUR BISHOP · Monday 12th March 2007, 15:22

Fantastic sketches Arthur,

What glorious weather we are having in norfolk at the moment

Matt

ARTHUR BISHOP · Wednesday 14th March 2007, 15:10

I agree with you on the weather Matt, I was up on Muckleburgh Hill this morning .Could see along the coast to Holkham woods clear as a bell. Kelling ,Salthouse, Cley, Blakeney Point, Morston,Stiffkey to Wells and on. Theres some Village names to bring back some birdwatching memories.

nickderry · Wednesday 14th March 2007, 15:36

some more excellently observed sketches. You've done well, egrets are always a challenge as they change their shape so quickly.

ARTHUR BISHOP · Wednesday 14th March 2007, 22:52

thankyou nick, as you say they are never still

timwootton · Wednesday 14th March 2007, 23:09

You certainly have a way of capturing flight, Arthur. You clearly manage to retain the 'moment' in your mind's eye -allowing structure to be added where necessary. Lovely, lovely work.

ARTHUR BISHOP · Wednesday 14th March 2007, 23:16

thankyou again kind sir
