Orla Stevens · Notes From The Creative Trail

Hello!

Welcome to my latest youtube video; a 15 minute exercise to help get you started with mixed media (or back into the swing of things if you’re feeling uncertain).

These sketches I make in this video might be some of my favourites I’ve made in a while! Leaning in to alllll the play through gentle experimentation, and sketching from a reference I took earlier this year, in Pittenweem. This is perhaps the cutest fishing village I’ve been to, on the East Neuk of Fife.

I hope you enjoy giving this a go!

Best,

Orla

P.S If you’re wanting a little extra guidance to explore mixed media, we are exploring mixed media water studies this month on my Patreon, find out more here:
