#296 – Merry-go-round

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.

Day 250 – Beirut Souks

ace-250-beirut-souks-161210-2-wm

I was out and about yesterday and went to the Beirut Souks – a modern mall but designed along the lines of a traditional souk. Here is a quick ink and watercolour sketch I did while having coffee – behind the modern street light is the minaret of Al-Omari mosque.
