Today I followed my usual routine and went to the mall after dropping my daughter at her gymnastics class. I’ve drawn this view from Krispy Kreme before – but this time kept it much simpler…after all most of the mall is coloured a bland grey or off-white. While sketching I noticed that Krispy Kreme seems to have CCTV for security – at least that’s what the sign (top right) indicates…I wonder why?

Here is the sketch I did yesterday at the mall – a bit of a disaster as my perspective is all wonky as are the colours. Never mind.

Yesterday I had lunch at a little cafe serving (and called) Banh Mi – which are Vietnamese sandwiches. At last they sell a vegetarian one. While I ate my sandwich and drank my Vietnamese coffee I sketched the view. There is lots and lots of colour out there in the mall – maybe a bit too much?

Here is another sketch from the weekend. After doing some shopping we had a bit of time to kill and Starbucks was the only quiet place in a very noisy mall.

Here is a sketch I did at the mall yesterday – the table was empty when I began and filled up with people as I drew. Then as I was painting, I looked up and they had all gone!

Yesterday I had a brief moment after a meeting to sit and sketch at the Podium Mall. Sitting outside the coffee shop I was watching the security guards scanning people as they came into the mall – they looked bored stiff!

I drew this while my wife and daughters were clothes shopping…who could resist sketching these bright pink mannequins!Fri-6-July-2018
Here is my very, very belated sketch for the Doodlewash prompt of “hot air balloons” for 5 June. As I sketch from life rather than photos, I couldn’t find a hot air balloon so just ordinary balloons have to do. I had to hunt around in the mall on Saturday to spot these in Ace hardware. For a change I also limited my palette to reds and blues.
