Paintings and Prints of the East Anglian Coast
Two new prints added to the Prints section capturing the annual celebration of the turning of the sun, the return of the light and longer days with Old Glory Molly dancers and musicians. This is from the performance in December 2017. Both these prints are traditional Wood Engravings with a limited edition of 100. Both for sale at £65 unframed (inc. P&P) or £110 for the pair. Contact me to order.
Sizes can be found in the Prints gallery http://www.kate-batchelor.co.uk/prints/
Quite a few sketches to catch up on so I have split them with a final catch up in a few days. Well winter is hanging with a vengeance keeping spring at bay something I have become even more aware of as I sketch daily.
Today is the last day of the exhibition so a hearty thank you to everyone who visited and gave such wonderful feedback. For those of you who came I thank you for participating in my little competition for 2 people to each win one of the prints from the 2016 sketch a day challenge. Yesterday myself and Michaela each drew a ticket from the box and the 2 lucky winners have each been informed. I hope you both enjoy your prints.
So what were your favorites? 43 different sketches proved to be someones favorite and every sketch was in someones top 3. However these were the 5 favorites. See them all here.

Couple of shallots grown by my mum that will make it into supper at some point. The shadows helps with the overall form, and the roots leave you in no doubt what they are. In 3 minutes you have to find the important features that define the subject.
With the cold weather coming this will form part of some hearty stew. Squashes don’t give you much to use from a textural point of view so the shape is critical to defining them.
These are used to burnish the print onto paper for lino cuts. I must confess I have never found great joy in using this one and prefer a wooded spoon. So at least this can serve a a sketch subject.
Love my red boots and as you can tell I hope that they are well worn and loved, slightly baggy which is great as they are soft and comfortable. Red with a buckle!
With my asthma being so bad I have managed so few outdoor sketches and despite the sketches being just 3minutes I intend for many to be landscapes. So I managed this from within the cafe looking out the window.
Again another from subjects within my studio that was sitting on the window sill. Just a plain grey pebble smooth from the sea.
Another simple object but here getting the perceptive correct is crucial . Simple lines give the feeling of may pages all slightly open to different degrees. Lighting the subject to give it shadows helps again in defining the form.
