I think the lounger in the title of this refers to me, not what I’m lounging on – definitely too much lazing around going on today! This ink and watercolour sketch was done as the sun was going down – a perfect time to relax by the pool without getting scorched.

Here is the second quick ink and watercolour sketch I’ve done today. It started off fine but when I drew the wheel I got the perspective wrong and it doesn’t look quite right!

Today I thought I must draw outside instead of stuck in the apartment – so here is another water-colour of the shared swimming pool at our place. I was hoping for a bit of peace and quiet, but as school has been cancelled because of a typhoon (though there is no rain at all), the clubhouse was swarming with children….none in the pool though!
In this drawing I wanted to capture the edges and corners of the things I could see – none of them quite complete, but implying something beyond the edge of the canvas. This was done in ink and watercolour in our common garden.
I should have really titled this pool during the rain because it hasn’t stopped today. However I needed to get out today and so I sat in one of the gazebos in our common garden and used my watercolours to paint this – I begin with ink and added touches with a water soluble pencil and watercolour pencils.
Today I used almost all the materials I have except ink [so that’s pencil, oil pastels, watercolour and watercolour pencils] – to draw this view out of our common clubhouse and just a speck of swimming pool. I am really getting to like using oil pastels.
This is the common pool at our condo [called Royal Palm], with railings and furniture in the foreground.
I drew this with a dip pen and acrylic ink, watercolour, watercolour pencils, charcoal and pencil.
Here is a view of our other common swimming pool [I’ve drawn the other one which is round, several times]. As often is the case [becuase of the heat], this was drawn as the sun was setting and it was casting shadows accross the grass and the path next to the pool.
It’s a Tuesday so the round pool is being cleaned and is empty bar a hose pipe [not a snake] and a few people chatting. So here is yet another view of the pool done with water colour, ink, pastel and water-colour pencils.
