Studio & Wild Live | Snowdrops, abstract landscapes, (not so) starry skies + avocado ink

February's wintery live video from artist Agnes Becker's studio

Thank you to everyone who tuned into my live video! Here’s what I played with in this Studio & Wild Live session with timecodes:

  • 01:00 Drawing the movement of snowdrops

  • 03:18 Tracking the starry (or not so starry) winter skies in my wild journal

  • 06:17 Abstract landscape techniques with limited tools and India ink (with thanks to Sam Boughton’s Plein Air Abstracts course)

  • 26:36 Avocado ink made from avocado dye

I also cover:

  • How making marks with nature helps me release perfectionism and control

  • Why my wild journal is central to my art practice

  • Why limited tools and materials can help you improve your skill

  • How you can make inks from plants that also dye fabric well + get peek of my Nana’s old natural dyes book!

Take a look at my Rivers Run Through Us and Starling Murmuration art collections.

Which technique will you try? Let me know in the comments.
