Mount Barney Hike

by
December 8, 2025

I spent the weekend hiking around Mount Barney in Queensland with two old friends. I didn’t get any drawing or painting done. I figured it would be optimistic to haul around my plein air equipment when every kilogram mattered. But I did take a heap of reference photos that you can paint from:

I have a few lessons on observation and color to share from this trip, but for now, enjoy the photos.

Kind regards
