Sketching Sandford Park

I recently went on a walk around Sandford Park in Cheltenham, whilst there, I did some sketches of some of the landscaped spaces I liked. First, I sketched a water feature that I immediately saw when entering from the high street. I chose this as I thought it was an interesting focal point that drew me into the park when entering through the gateway. I used a fineliner pen for this sketch because it is one of my favourite mediums for drawing due to the clear lines and not being able to rub it out.

After this, I did another sketch, but instead focused on a planted space surrounding a fountain, which I particularly enjoyed for the variety of colour, despite it now being autumn. As I can't show colour using the fineliner pen, when I got back, I went over the sketch using soft pastels to show the colours.
