193 entry
Working on my oils. Portraits with a bit of chiaroscuro using a minimal selection of colours. Am working on my next painting and may add burnt sienna.
192 entry!
Let's start afresh. A new year a new incentive!
I have a watercolour travel set that I carry in my handbag! It started when we went cycling in France last year and I needed to have a small sketch set so I designed my own and I love it!

About Me
- Artist diary by Sarah Orchard
- Art has always been an integral part of my life. At the age of 50 I was able to complete a long awaited foundation course and HNC/HND. From this experience I have developed my love of pastel and watercolour. Rubens has always inspired me with his fluidity of movement; Degas and Lautrec I admire with their rough marks and blends of colour,their freshness of approach. I feel I have been given a talent for a reason and gradually the purpose shall unfold... sarah.orchard54@hotmail.co.uk Note: Images are Copyright Sarah Orchard © 2009
