Just because it’s the holiday season doesn’t mean I get away without doing any scribbling. I wanted to do something a bit different so I prepared a small square Khadi handmade paper sketchbook by sponging an Indian ink wash randomly over the pages. I’m going to draw at night, as it’s dark by about 4.30 at the moment and it’ll get me out of the house for a bit of exercise as well. I went down to the seafront near The Tower this evening and scribbled away with compressed charcoal and black and white conte crayons. I don’t normally draw landscape, but it was easier at night because I couldn’t get distracted by detail; I had to work in monochrome blocks which is quite exciting. Well, that’s my idea of exciting, scribbling in the cold and drizzle on a deserted beach in the dark on Xmas Eve – sad isn’t it? 😉

I like it! I have been trying to get some major gardening time in on the few days when it isn’t raining…. amusing to think that at the same time i am thinking I can’t see anything anymore so i better come inside, you are thinking you will take out your sketchbook. I admire your dedication 🙂
Or idiocy LOL 😀
This struck me straight away. My idea of a fun xmas exactly. Cool sketch.
Thanks – I haven’t been out since though !!!! But I’m going out tomorow with my sketchpad 🙂
I love this! That is far from sad in my estimation. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you 🙂
