Not always a good idea to be out in the midday sun, but once I snuck into the field, I was able to sit in the shade of the wall to do some sketching under blue skies and reasonable temperatures. The first time this year I have been able to get this close to bales of any kind.
I worked mostly with Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Winsor Violet and French Ultramarine with a little Cadmium Yellow and Permanent Sap Green for the trees. Although there were plenty of ‘noises off’ indicating the presence of others in the distance, I couldn’t think of a more perfect place to be.
