Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Stepping out into the garden with a sketchbook in hand is a novel, powerful practice which, given time, can transform the way we look at plants we think that we know like the back of our hand.
In this week’s podcast episode, Sarah is joined by artist and gardener Matthew Rice to explore how drawing becomes a kind of “recorded looking” that deepens our relationship with flowers and gardens - from choosing the right subjects and materials to capturing the feeling of a border in full swing.
In this episode, discover:
- How drawing functions as “recorded looking”, helping deepen your relationship with your garden
- Which flowers and garden plants are most forgiving to draw as a beginner, and practical ways to get started with garden drawing
- Where Matthew Rice finds inspiration, from historic watercolourists to everyday details in his own greenhouse and garden
