On Wednesday my Tagalog lesson was cancelled so I had a few minutes spare before my daughter was ready to head off to her gymnastics session. Naturally I started a sketch (which I finished off later at home). This lovely tree is in the play area at the school – most of the greenery is actually other trees in the background.

I’ve been taking Tagalog (Filipino) lessons at my daughters school recently – kindly offered for free by one of the foreign teachers who can speak it fluently. Yesterday the lesson was postponed so I had a few moments to sketch. This little boy was either tired or had been having a difficult day.

IGCSE exams began on Tuesday and I had time to kill while I waited to pick my daughter from school where I drew this. These are air-conditioning units…somehow I think it can’t be that efficient to have so many little ones.

Yesterday I arrived earlier than expected to pick up my daughter at school, so I sat in their canteen and drew this. “Here we are” was spelled out on the pennants, over what I guess is one of the junior classrooms.

As usual I am behind with posting (but not with the actual daily sketching), so apologies for the flurry of activity today. To start off from a week ago, here is a sketch I did in the car park of my daughters school while waiting to pick her up from her first IB exam.

I thought I’d draw my youngest daughter today when she got home from school (UniPin pen and watercolour) – not snoozing but scrolling through social media on her phone. I think I prefer the one I did yesterday.

When my daughters come home from school it’s my favourite time of day – not only because I love them, but because I can draw them! Our eldest, Louisa, is exhausted every day and usually has a nap on the couch before beginning homework, so I drew her again today using a UniPin pen and watercolour.

Today I had time to do this quick ink and water-colour sketch of the school my daughters go to, while I was waiting for a “student led conference” (a parent teacher meeting). Perhaps I should have picked a view with more interest!

The other day I arrived early to a meeting at my daughters school – so of course I did a quick sketch (which I coloured at home). I used a UniPin pen and watercolour pencils.
