Last weekend I went on a short trip from Brighton to Lewes, to sketch some of the rolling fields as quick studies. I painted  in watercolour & gouache instead of oils this time, and on card instead of watercolour paper. And it had been the first time in months since I’d done any plein air painting. 

I started off with this sketch of the fields and this one particular tree, which a path seemed to lead towards, which caught my eye. 

I then took my easel, bag and materials and walked to another location a little further up the hill.

I noticed what appeared to be storm clouds gathering on top of this other hill that was positioned behind my standing point for the first painting. At first the clouds were thick, dark grey and blue, but they were passing by quit quickly in the wind, so I did my best to capture it in the short time i had. 

For my third sketch, I decided to walk to the top of the hill of the scene I had just painted, and saw a nice gap in-between some distant reddish trees, which led onto Lewes town and the distant sea.

The wind was stronger up here, so I painted as quickly as I could. 

After the third sketch, I noticed I was running out of light quite quickly, and would have to make a quick decision as to what I was going to paint next. I packed my things away again, walked back down the hill over the tall grass, and then further up the path. 

I saw a few hikers walk past, on their way back to the town. Eventually I decided to stop and do my absolute best in what seemed to be about 20 minutes of light left. My fourth study was quite impressionistic and abstract, but I captured some of the sunset colours streaming through the distant clouds on the horizon, up above the furthest hill south. 

And this was the result:

Here is a photo of all 4 painting studies together with the final bit of light, before I quickly packed away all my equipment, and walked  in the dark back towards the town, before returning home to Brighton:
