When you get there?

There is so much to choose from, people often tell me that they don’t know where to start, so they don’t start….

 

So here’s some starting points…

Small details:

focus in on the little details rather than the larger view. Details such as little doorhandles, flowers

 

Bigger views:

less detail, focus more on the bigger picture, shapes and texture

Anything that interests you!

 

How can you make it easier for yourself? 

Angles change difficulty so looking at something straight on, is easier that from an angle

Windows through into other spaces: through a door, peer round the side

Cut out clutter

Dont worry about perspective!

 

And here’s a few ideas to get you started….

Beach: shells, rock-pools, fish, creatures

Stately home

Travel Airport or road or train

Nature

Markets

Cafe / eating

Outdoor sport: Swimming / cricket / tennis

Faces and expressions - if you are with a group of people/
