The Sketchbook Project - Part 1

Over the Christmas break I created my contribution,’Distant Horizons', to the Sketchbook Project (USA).

In the coming weeks I will progressively post the images of my sketchbook.   

Here’s my Artist Statement for the sketchbook (Note: I was limited to 400 characters):

Using photo transfer and watercolour my sketchbook depicts my local beach and bay - Half Moon Bay situated on Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne, Australia. 

From the early days of European settlement many of Australia’s celebrated sculptors and painters, including  Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton, Fredrick McCubbin (1886-1907) and later Arthur Boyd were inspired by Half Moon Bay and its coastline.
