Here is another one of my drawings (done in pastel, pencil and ink) from the life drawing classes last Saturday. The model had a stick across his shoulders.

Pencil
271 – Pink House
I went out for a nice long walk today, ending up near the church in Lavenham and sat down to do this ink and watercolour sketch of a row of cottages, which is opposite. This is the first page in a new sketch book (back to using Daler Graduate sketchbooks). Even though the paper is thinner it can take a lot of my scratching and scribbling!

Day 246 – Table and chairs
Back to drawing in my hotel room after a long day at work – just a simple view of the furniture, using watercolour, pencil and ink.

Day 233 – Jug
Super-quick doodle of a water jug late last night – tried using water-soluble pencil and watercolour rather than ink as my current sketchbook seems to prefer that!

Day 231 – Life drawing
After far too many years away, yesterday evening I joined a life drawing session at Warehouse 8, organized by “Whoaremaro“. Here are some of the quick pencil sketches I did. Really enjoyed getting back to it, but felt extremely rusty!

Day 224 – Creaminess for breakfast
Today I had coffee and breakfast in Krispy Creme – the furniture and floor were all the same creamy colour and outside it was rainy and grey. I battled with this a little – adding pastel to water-colour and pencil to try and get the right atmosphere. Funny how even the blandest of settings are enjoyable to look at when you’re drawing.

Day 218 – Car in the mall
Here is the water-colour painting I did today while having a coffee. I decided to start with pencil today so I could concentrate on the colours and shapes rather than lines. I like drawing in the malls here – there are so many colours and reflective surfaces!

Day 205 – Blue sea
I painted this (ink, pencil, water-colour and water-colour pencils) on our second day at La Luz beach resort. We spend most of our time relaxing with this fantastic view and swimming with beautiful fishes, hundreds of which can be found only metres away from the beach.
Day 193 – Four things hanging up
For this sketch (which I did on 12-Oct…I am still catching up posting stuff), I decided to make it a bit tighter and use pencil first instead of ink. I colored it with watercolour and watercolour pencils afterwards. The “four things” are a hat from Laya (Bhutan), a lamp from Turkey, a wooden toy from Thailand and a little wooden mask from the Philippines.
