Picnic and leaves
Picnic weather!
Such gorgeous weather today in my part of the UK, the sun was shining and it was the perfect weather to pack a picnic and head out to the local park for lunch.
I found a lovely shaded spot under a tree to put down the blanket and eat lunch. As with most of my travels I had taken my sketchbook with me, ready to make a few sketches during a spot of lunch.
It didn't take long to find inspiration, I just looked up into the glistening canopy of the tree. I made a simple line drawing of the sycamore leaves above my head on to a background I had prepared previously using acrylic paints. .
As I was putting the cool bag into my car after the picnic I noticed this little fella had hitched a ride. Can you guess what type of caterpillar he is?
I'll tell you a bit more about this hairy little caterpillar in a future post!
I think it's "Acronicta aceris" - beautiful caterpillar. Thank you very much dear @opheliafu for sharing! All the best to you!
That's a very good guess- the clue was in the name of the tree. Well done!
Yes, it is so! Thanks a lot dear @opheliafu! It was intersting!) Have a beautiful weekend!
You too! And thank you for bringing some sunshine to this post's comment section :D

I was in awe and alone, i didn't think anyone in the building was even aware of it. Was watching the sky the following day but it was back to being plain and boring ;)

That's really lovely! I like the simplicity of just the drawing on the green.
This is part of the reason I like to take prepared paper out with me as well as the normal blank pages of my sketchbook- it's good for doing simple line drawings on.
