Drawing, Lake Daylesford

Mark Dober

Drawing, Lake Daylesford, 2025 watercolour, gouache, oil pastel, conte, black and brown ink on paper 86 x 122 cm

'Drawing, Lake Daylesford' was made on site at the central Victorian beauty spot.
I have represented the lake, trees and sky, and the foregrounded plants, in a tactile and somewhat abstracted way, with varied mark making and media. Fractured as the elements of this composition are I have also aimed to unify my work as a rhythmic, patterned and decorative whole.
My romantic landscape painting asserts an appreciation of the enduring beauty that our world offers in abundance.
