Yesterday I took a break from Inktober and ended up at Turtle Cover Marina again to do some sketching. I did drive around a bit but found nothing but fancy houses on deserted coastlines, all looking like trespassers would be shot if they ventured onto the beach nearby. I had to rush to finish this sketch as it started to rain (hence the blotchy look here and there)…of course by the time I got home the rain had stopped!

This is the second sketch I did at Turtle Creek Marina – again my location was dictated by seeking a bit of shade. For a change I took a photo of just the ink work before painting as I was thinking I would muck it up – in the end I think it looks better coloured. The boat seemed to be named Histar (can you spot the little star)…hence the title.

After sitting on the edge of the jetty for my previous sketch (you can see the boat I drew on the far left), getting bitten by mosquitos and always in danger of dropping my kit into the sea, I found a concrete bench to sit at for this second sketch in Blue Haven Marina. Just as I was finishing this heavy clouds came over – a big hint that it was time go pack up and go home before getting soaked.

Just had to get out to sketch on Sunday despite the possibility of roasting in the sun or getting soaked in a storm. As it was the weather was fine. The Turks and Caicos Islands have beautiful beaches and is also popular with boat owners, so I thought seeking out a marina to sketch at would be fun. It was so quiet at this spot that the noisiest thing where I sat were the shoals of big fish splashing around below.

Here is the second watercolour and ink sketch I did at Zeituna Bay and marina. I started with the watercolour this time and then added the ink later.

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!
