I’ve got several sketches not shared yet, so this is my second posting today. This one was done last Friday when we went to see a movie (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood). We had a few moments before the movie began so I sketched this and added the colour later from a photo I took. I feel the result is a bit overworked and muddy….as usual I think adding the colour on the spot works better.

I did this sketch in ink and watercolour really quickly while waiting for a snack and coffee to be ready before I went in to see a movie…the ceiling was a very complicated arrangement of lights and panels, which I didn’t have enough time to capture. I should have picked a simpler subject!

Finally got out to sketch on Saturday – but despite the blue skies it was freezing cold so I rushed this a bit. I used watercolour and a Uni Pin pen for a change but still prefer water-soluble ink in my fountain pen. This scene is outside the cinema again – an interesting mix of modern and traditional architecture with a merry-go-round thrown in for good measure.

Here is another drawing I did on the weekend, while waiting to go into the cinema. The building on the left is ‘Cinema City, Beirut Souks‘ – I think the odd looking facade lights up at night….it was a struggle to draw it so the rest of the drawing ended up a bit hurried.
