The Shelter Posts

Wildart Drawing Day inspired the designs for these posts, and work was started on the posts during the event. Drawings and designs were also worked out on paper and were then used in the final paintings.  

All of the designs are based on the woodland and dozens of people contributed their ideas.

The shelter posts

 The Shelter Posts are painted with pigments made from the soil and clays found in Thornden Woods. This has given them a very particular colour scheme which works very well.

 I have included a slide show called a ''return to painting' as it is great to be using paints in such a relevant way. That is making your own paint with what's on the site. Great for highlighting the resources of a particular place.
