Pitch Perfect: A Soggy Study
Project type
Painting
Date
November 2024 & May 2024
Location
York, UK
A collection of plein air watercolour landscapes painted in situ on the York College football pitch, under the expert tutelage of Jamie Barbour at the York School of Art. Created over two wet, cold, and blustery afternoons, these works capture the quiet beauty of trees silhouetted against brooding skies, all while battling the uniquely British challenge of painting outdoors in the drizzle.
Each brushstroke carries the grit and humour of an artist determined to wrestle a bit of loveliness from soggy sketchbooks, muddy boots, and numb fingers—because nothing says dedication like watercolours in Yorkshire rain.
A celebration of perseverance, creativity, and the unexpected inspiration found on a football pitch turned impromptu studio.
