Yesterday I took a nice long walk and without intending to ended up at Zeitunay Bay and marina. There was a lot to draw there – although the whole time I drew (sitting on the edge of the boardwalk because I got turfed off the bollard I was sitting on) I was nervous about dropping all my sketching kit into the sea!

Sketching in watercolour and ink in my hotel room again last night – I think I’ve draw a similar view many many times, especially given that hotel rooms are so anonymous…I could be anywhere. Even so I don’t tire of reinterpreting the same scene.

I’ve missed a couple of day of drawing – I’ve got too much work to do and I’m still recovering from jet lag in the evenings. However here is a quick and careless watercolour I did before setting off for work yesterday. And yes on the left and right the grey/green patches are the sea!

Here is another ink and water drawing done at Beirut airport – the bloke in the foreground didn’t come out well but the others are OK.

Posting some long overdue sketches which I’ve been doing over the last week. I haven’t had time to post for a while and because of all the travel I’ve been doing I’ve lost track of the days – so I’ve given up referring to “Day 258 etc.”… instead I’ll just post as numbers…but still do one a day I hope. This one was done in ink at Beirut Airport in the evening. The guy moved before I could do much more!

Hopefully this is my last drawing in my hotel room, done last night in ink, watercolour and watercolour pencil. Flying back home tonight, so I guess I’ll be sketching at airports for a while.

Just another sketch in my hotel room – it doesn’t matter what I draw, as long as I do a drawing or painting each day and I always enjoy it even if I’m drawing the same mundane things. This was done in my usual watercolour and ink.

Catching up with posting my sketches – mostly done in my hotel room as I have too much work to do in the evenings. Also the weather has turned rainy and cold! This one was done with watercolour, pencil and ink.
