I’m obsessed with Tresco and fortunately I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to visit for many years thanks to the artist’s residency with Gallery Tresco. I’ve just returned from spending 5 days there with my son. We would have had longer but the fog scuppered a couple of days travel which tends to be a common occurrence during the colder months. This year we stayed in Reading Room Cottage, a few minutes amble from the pub, shop and pool.
Our days were spent walking around the island, sketching, and enjoying a dip in one of the indoor swimming pools. I relish the simplicity of our quiet visits to Tresco as I’m used to living in the middle of a town with bustle.
Every day I collected different wild flowers to draw and use as starting points for a new collection of originals for the gallery. I’m currently really enjoying painting flowers so I thoughts I’d continue with this thread for a while longer.
p.s I’ve used my non dominant hand for the script on my sketches and I’m loving the effect!
