The Rothbury Hills

[Mike A]

This is an exercise using mainly the airbrush tool, with some additions in pastel, ink and pencil - and watercolour for the sky. I tried all sorts of combinations of tools for the sky - all of them with poor results - and then got it with the watercolour.

The Rothbury Hills are in Northumberland, in the north-east of England, and the sketch was initially made last year on a road with a series of views of the hills. I just stopped the car at a high point, sketched the scene, took some photos and - filed it all away....
