In November 2019 I went to Lund Studios in Yorkshire for a workshop run by Lewis Noble. Over three days he shared his approach to sketching outdoors and the process he uses to develop work from these sketches back in the studio. I was interested in ‘losing’ the horizon for a while as it is such a dominating feature of the landscape here in Orkney, and developing my sketchbook practice in an expressive way that could use as a jumping off point for larger work.
