First drawing in my new sketchbook – nothing as extravagant as the last one (Strathmore) – just a simple hardback from WH Smith stationers in the UK. The paper is very smooth and takes the ink well, but is a bit slippery with the paint. Although we did go out for a nice lunch in Long Melford yesterday, I didn’t get a chance to draw…instead I did this while relaxing in the evening. Bishops Finger is the name of the bottled beer!
