Last night we had a quiet night in, watching a movie. Here is the quick sketch I did in watercolour and ink, of my mum.

#272 – Winch’s Cafe
Yesterday I went to Sudbury and sketched this in ink and watercolour while waiting for some lunch. It was a bit hurried and bit sloppy, so I’m not so pleased with how it turned out…hey ho.

#271 – Pink House
I went out for a nice long walk today, ending up near the church in Lavenham and sat down to do this ink and watercolour sketch of a row of cottages, which is opposite. This is the first page in a new sketch book (back to using Daler Graduate sketchbooks). Even though the paper is thinner it can take a lot of my scratching and scribbling!

#270 – Tea rooms
I finally went out to draw yesterday and sat on a damp bench in the square to draw this corner of the guidlhall (which houses some tea rooms). It was pretty cold so I did this quickly in ink and watercolour. Still plenty of tourists wandering around though.

Here is a quck sketch (ink and watercolour) of my dad watching TV last night – I keep meaning to get out and sketch but it’s a lot colder than I am used to!

#267 – Fireplace
Sticking with a Christmas theme (can’t help it really at this time of year), here is the watercolour and ink sketch I did yesterday at my sisters house, where we spent Christmas day. That’s a real wood burning fire on the right, but a china cat curled up!

#266 – Under the tree
Yesterday afternoon, comfortably settled in my parents house, I painted this while drinking a cup of tea and half watching a BBC programme about Alan Bennett. Very British. This was done in ink and watercolour – Happy Christmas everyone!

#264 – Shanghai Ceiling
This is part of the ceiling of Shanghai airport – sketched in watercolour and ink, on my way to the UK from the Philippines. I decided that the whole thing was way too complicated to sketch – but maybe I’ll give it a try on the way back.
