stand out Alexandra Blum, ‘Winter on Laycock Green’, graphite on paper, 29.7 x 42 cm, 2022 Although winter was in full swing when I drew this, Laycock Green still teemed with life. I wanted the image to be an accumulation of the continual interactions between birds, mammals and plants which I caught glimpses of as I drew. **STOP PRESS ** This drawing will be shown within ‘Drawn Together’ a group exhibition curated by David Remfry RA at Paul Smith, 9 Albemarle Street, London, W1S 4BL from Thursday 11th September until Sunday 9th November 2025, 11am - 7pm Monday - Saturday and 12pm - 6pm on Sundays.

This drawing was made in February. Such a great opportunity to draw ‘sleeping’ trees and to see the continued activity of creatures who’ve made Laycock Green their home. I loved the cat, who spent quite a lot of time marching past me and patrolling the hedgerow (without appearing to actually catch anything). The pigeons seemed to run rings around him….

So much happens so quickly, I had to speed up my drawing process in an attempt to keep up…. This image was drawn in March, as the first leaves were beginning to emerge. It felt as though each branch, twig, bud and leaf was reaching out, feeling its way into its surroundings. It’s also a compilation of viewpoints. I moved backwards and forwards so that I could draw the whole tree as well as individual buds and leaves on its upper branches.

Click here for further information about the show and an invitation to the Private View on 29th March, I’d love to see you there! About ‘Radiant Spring’: Made in early April, I wanted to draw the way Laycock Green seemed to glow with new growth and activity. The two horizontal branch tips, one dark, one light, entering from the right, are the same branch drawn a few days apart, from slightly different positions. I was so surprised when the bulbous buds peeled open to reveal many small flowers, each on a thin stalk. I wanted to continue looking as closely as I could, and tried to draw each flower and bud as specifically as possible. It was an attempt to create a record of individual, brief flowerings.

Once again the speed of change took me by surprise. I drew the central tree at the height of its blossoming, the full brilliance only lasting a couple of days. I stood under a neighbouring tree to draw, but the blossom swirled around me nonetheless.

As early summer arrived I wanted to look back at the same tree and draw it from the ‘outside’. There’s so much energy within a mass of leaves and I was fascinated to see that, every so often, individual leaves swung like pendulums on their stalks. The surrounding undergrowth was also expanding in every direction, attracting passers-by to paths which had become secretive, unlike their bare, exposed winter form.

I’d like anyone who looks at the drawings to be able to choose their own route through the space, discovering glimpses of activity as their eye travels through the network of lines and patches of tone. This is a response to my interest in spatial structures in Early Netherlandish painting and a response to reflecting upon Carlo Rovelli’s description of the world as a network of events within his book ‘The Order of Time’, (translation first published Allen Lane 2018).

Each leaf fell so delicately, but spending several days amongst the trees as they gradually shed every leaf, helped me feel the monumentality of autumn. Dogs looked as if they loved it too. They often seemed confused by me though…. One dog walker told me (after his dog had been standing stock still staring at me for what felt like an age) that, because I didn’t have a dog with me, his dog didn’t understand why I was there!

I use each form I observe as a stepping stone to reach the next, so that I discover the landscape gradually, as if feeling my way through the dark, rather than creating a perspectival plan of the entire space from a fixed view point at the outset of the drawing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610565564935a22f98b1af66/f8ac257d-4338-4440-8b64-5a69364a6fc5/Act_Alexandra_Blum_Detail_3_1500_compressed.jpg RA Summer Exhibition close ups of drawings - Make it stand out Above: Detail from: Alexandra Blum, Act, 2023, graphite on paper, 53 x 70 cm (including frame) £950 SOLD.

This means that narrative emerges not only through the recording of observed details, but also through chance encounters between different sections of drawing. When drawing Act, for example, the letters ‘act’ (part of a sign reading ‘impact’ on the side of a van) suddenly became a command when seen in conjunction with the figures in other areas of the image. Most figures in the drawing are dutifully going about their business, but the silhouetted figure (standing on the edge of the 5-mph speed limit ground marking) seems immobile, incapable of taking action. It began to feel as if the silhouetted figure was outside of the flow of time in which the other figures jointly participated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610565564935a22f98b1af66/8637d391-d57a-42e0-b058-682f80362085/Act_Alexandra_Blum_1500.jpg RA Summer Exhibition close ups of drawings - Make it stand out Above: Alexandra Blum, Act, 2023, graphite on paper, 53 x 70 cm (including frame) £950 SOLD.

A story not of fixed elements but of multiple strands. Strands which temporarily come together before drifting apart, potentially ready to form subsequent, new interrelationships. My hope is that my drawings convey this fluctuating interweaving of events within the places I encounter daily. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610565564935a22f98b1af66/b02d2c49-3a0d-48da-9ed2-aab10a57446b/Home_IV_Alexandra_Blum_1500.jpg RA Summer Exhibition close ups of drawings - Make it stand out Above: Alexandra Blum, Home IV, 2020, graphite on paper, 53 x 70.4cm (including frame), £950 SOLD.

Photo credit: John Howard Davies This drawing was made over several high tides, recording the way the river then becomes busy with barges taking aggregate up river, waste down river, ships bringing goods to the Tate and Lyle factory, and leisure yachts, all taking advantage of the deeper water. Meanwhile there is a regular flow of planes taking off from City airport, behind the factory. This vehicular activity is juxtaposed with the birdlife taking place on the warehouse rooftops. The vertical lines in the foreground describe my open studio window, with the handle in the position I had left it in, when opening it a few moments before it became part of the image. **STOP PRESS ** This drawing will be shown within ‘Drawn Together’ a group exhibition curated by David Remfry RA at Paul Smith, 9 Albemarle Street, London, W1S 4BL from Thursday 11th September until Sunday 9th November 2025, 11am - 7pm Monday - Saturday and 12pm - 6pm on Sundays.

Photo credit: John Howard Davies The broad scope of the aerial view from my studio window often heightens my awareness of the vast planetary scale, in which small everyday events take place. Whilst I was drawing the moon - visible that day during daylight - in the top right of the image, I noticed people gathering in the recycling area below. To my surprise they began gracefully throwing bin bags into the skips, using underarm throws with elegantly swinging arms and expertly bent legs. It felt as though the gull circling above, top right, were in a third realm, between the mundane activity at ground level and the celestial movements above.

Photo credit: John Howard Davies “….When I begin ‘Wagtail’, the crow feels like the drawing’s epicentre. But, as the drawing expands, the crow’s influence fades. My pencil reaches fencing, with flame like spikes. A person wanders into the fenced area, also surveying the scene. They disappear and a high-pitched creaking re-focusses my attention on the recycling crusher which has begun rolling back and forth in another skip. An unexpected, close, movement catapults me to the bottom left foreground: a tiny wagtail bird is about to perch upon the window ledge I am drawing from. It sees me looking back, screeches to a halt, makes a handbrake turn and disappears. I draw the wagtail rapidly, mainly from memory, its delicate feet becoming enormous in my mind, as they stretched out towards me. I love the way that switching between different drawing languages enables the graphite marks to become traces of the pace and character of the events observed as I draw. Utilising the extreme edges of the composition feels exciting too. It prevents the picture surface from becoming a window framing a view, in turn helping to make myself and the viewer active participants in the space, able to respond with the entire body not just the eyes. “ - The above is an extract from an article I wrote about my work for Easel Words, in The Jackdaw, Nov/Dec 2022, p.11.

Photo credit: A. Blum I love the way I see birds flying at close quarters from my studio window. In this case, the pigeon instinctively twisted its body in flight as it skimmed past my window. Later, a seed head floated through the same spot, its gentle drifting fall countering the determined directional flight of the bird. The tower in the background is a brick chimney, part of a complex of historic warehouses and factories. My eye is often drawn to it, even though it’s beginning to be overshadowed by tower blocks being built to its right. **STOP PRESS ** This drawing will be shown within ‘Drawn Together’ a group exhibition curated by David Remfry RA at Paul Smith, 9 Albemarle Street, London, W1S 4BL from Thursday 11th September until Sunday 9th November 2025, 11am - 7pm Monday - Saturday and 12pm - 6pm on Sundays.

Although I have drawn the wooded hills of Charlton visible from my studio window many times, I was taken aback by the arrival of spring in early April 2025. It seemed to spread gradually over the hill, creating a feeling of buoyancy, as if not only the trees but the whole city were reaching upwards. The emergence of thousands (millions?) of individual leaves felt both fragile and monumental. Due to the pace of spring, I had to speed up my looking process, but the image was still made over a couple of weeks, tracking the green as it travelled through the hillside. I wanted each painted tree to be as specific as possible in terms of its particular green and particular shape as it transformed from bare branches towards full leaf. I was also surprised by the pink/orange colour of some of the trees. I later discovered (in Tristan Gooley’s fascinating book ‘How to Read a Tree’ ) that this was probably due to the pink/red colour of bud scales, which encase the buds but are discarded as the leaves burst through*. * Tristan Gooley, 'How to Read a Tree', Hodder Press, 2024, pages 206 & 207.

Exhibited in ‘Landscape Open 2025’, Salisbury Museum. It’s early May 2025 and I continued to observe the urban forest leading up to Shooters Hill in Charlton, from my fifth-floor studio window. The range of colours within the view keeps changing, and seems to make significant shifts every few weeks. One of my aims is for the range of colour within each image to emerge in response to the observations I make of this small area of London over the 3-4 weeks during which I work on each watercolour (rather than planning the colour relationships in advance). Whilst I was making this image the tree canopy kept expanding and felt as if it had the potential to reclaim the city and engulf the buildings under construction. The red bus travelling through the image also became an important element. I've travelled by bus along that route many times and the bus in the image seemed to reflect my experience of feeling as if the bus were a sealed unit travelling through, and separate from, the surrounding abundance of life which seemed to expand in every direction. Paradoxically, the image was also informed by the experience of being enveloped in green light when standing under a huge plane tree in full leaf. I also enjoyed using colour in a variety of ways across the image: sometimes recreating the range of greens amongst the leaves as closely as possible, at other times making intuitive colour equivalents of the tone I saw as the light changed, at other times using pure colour to construct spatial connections between distant areas of the image.

As summer progressed, I slowly watched the undulating flight of birds over the tree canopy and roof tops, the building site on the left seemed to shrink in comparison to the tree canopy.

September and into October, the leaves darkening, the hill seemed to shrink in towards itself. It felt as though I were mentally travelling through the space as I worked, using each fragment of tree or building as a stepping stone to reach its neighbouring form, in turn mapping the ever-changing network of relationships between plant life and urban structures.

Colour itself is part of the subject matter in this series of images and, similar to the multiple drawing languages I’ve used in monochrome work, when making this image it felt as if I were switching between different ways of thinking about and using colour. For example, alternating between naturalistic colour, which is closely observed and tied to the colour I could see in the landscape, particularly amongst the foliage, and areas where colour is intuitively juxtaposed in response to the tonal values I observed (within the buildings on the left for example), in order to recreate the luminosity and radiance I saw within that particular area of the landscape, at that specific stage of the year. In other areas single colours become drawing tools, ultra-marine blue for example describing the flight of a bird as it flits, close up, past the edge of the building I’m looking out of, momentarily becoming the focus of my vision, the dense city briefly receding in relation to its individual life-force.

Autumn proceeded more slowly than I expected, and this image charts the gradual transition in colour through November and into December, when the intricate structure of bare branches became visible once more (top right). I was very interested to see how the change from depicting chlorophyll laden greens, to the reds and ochres of autumn and the muted greys of winter, also reveals the path my eye took whilst visually travelling through the landscape, gradually recording the colour changes at each stage of the journey. In this way time becomes embedded in the image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610565564935a22f98b1af66/6e9a14fd-34a5-4422-8181-a1028ee5cf7b/Autumnal_Transition_2025_watercolour_by_Alexandra_Blum_1500_compressed_detail_1.jpg Autumn transition - Make it stand out Alexandra Blum, Detail from: ‘Autumn transition’, watercolour on paper, 23 x 30.5 cm, 2025. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610565564935a22f98b1af66/e724addd-7010-434d-8559-c941346ec963/Autumnal_Transition_2025_watercolour_by_Alexandra_Blum_1500_compressed_detail_2.jpg Autumn transition - Make it stand out Alexandra Blum, Detail from: ‘Autumn transition’, watercolour on paper, 23 x 30.5 cm, 2025. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610565564935a22f98b1af66/dedadd38-f68f-4417-bbf7-70d62c523367/Autumnal_Transition_2025_watercolour_by_Alexandra_Blum_1500_compressed_detail_3.jpg Autumn transition - Make it stand out Alexandra Blum, Detail from: ‘Autumn transition’, watercolour on paper, 23 x 30.5 cm, 2025. https://www.alexblum.co.uk/winter-2026 daily 0.75 2026-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610565564935a22f98b1af66/f6f956eb-542e-400a-a492-92ec8c88a778/Winter_Rain_2026_watercolour_by_Alexandra_Bum_1500_compressed.jpg Winter 2026 - Make it stand out Alexandra Blum, ‘Winter 2026’, watercolour on paper, 23 x 30.5 cm, 2026. Rain. Day after day, week after week over the area near Shooters Hill, Charlton, for the first few weeks of 2026. But, within the gloom, a delicacy of form seemed to emerge out of the way the rain laden, silvery light simultaneously blurred boundaries and created a type of precision through subtle changes in tone.

Made slowly over several weeks in-between the January storms, ‘Winter 2025’ is an accumulation of quiet, early evening observations: steam hovering in winter air as it rises from rooftops altering the appearance of buildings behind it; a pulse of reflected evening sunlight on a window; a single bird moving from shadow to light, in the process revealing its individual, curving flight path within the wider city.
