I drew this while watching my daughter at her gym classes. I’ve drawn this many times, but this time I ended up with a light and almost pastel colour scheme using my watercolour pencils.

Gymnastica
#385 – Club Gymastica
I never tire of sketching at the place where my daughter does gym classes…I like the abstract quality of the scene and the bright colours. This one is devoid of any kids though!

#367 – Watching
Yesterday I took my daughter to gymnastics again. For a change we sat if a different spot, so I got to draw some different equipment and people!

#336 – Sea of mats
Another one at my daughters gym class – I enjoy drawing this because of the geometry and bright colours. My elder daughter said she’s seen this a few times before…true!, but each time it’s different to me.

#335 – Warming up
Here is a sketch done at my daughters gymnastics class. This was a kind of warm up for me…I drew the same little girl repeatedly trying to capture her movement.

#308 – On the bar
I am now back in the Philippines following my usual routine – so here is a sketch done while my daughter did gymnastics. It was impossible to draw the girls on the bar accurately, so I just gave an impression of them.

#284 – Gym watchers
Following my usual routine here is my sketch of people watching their children at gymastics classes. This is always good practice for drawing people – but usually only profiles and the backs of heads.

#278 – Club Gymnastica
Back to my usual routine for a while – sketching in watercolour and ink while I watch my daughter do her gymastics…she’s not in this one though. I had only a little time to draw this and just quickly drew whichever gymnast was in front of me – the same one appears several times over.

Day 210 – Gym horses
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve sketched while my daughter does gymnastics – there is always plenty to see though and the shapes and colours of the mats and equipment always look great. I did this in my usual ink, water-colour and water-colour pencils.
