I’ve been an keen
admirer of Darren Woodhead. I first came across his work in James Busby’s ‘Drawing Birds’ then became finally
hooked when I saw his own books ‘Between
Dawn and Dusk’ and ‘Up River – The Song
of the Esk’ displayed in the bookshop at Nature in Art, Twigworth.
So it was
fascinating to catch a brief glimpse of his working method on Springwatch
Unsprung. Lovely direct watercolours loosely painted in front of the subject
but which for me capture the experience of birding perfectly. It’s sometimes
difficult to locate the bird in his paintings but then isn’t that a common
experience when we try to locate a Chiff Chaff or Blackcap in an oak tree?
Darren
regularly posts his current work on Twitter so he’s worth following.
