Suddenly there’s a heatwave and everyone’s out on the beach, in shorts and swimsuits. It’s gorgeous when the sun shines here. The best place in the world. Pity it rains 90% of the time. I went for a paddle and sat on the steps awhile outside the Civic Centre with my feet dangling in the water and did a quick scribble of the kids playing in the gentle waves. The sea was glassy and the horizon merged into the sky. Hot and still, not like a British summer at all.
Nice drawing, looks like the tide is full in.
It was, I was wiggling my toes in the sea as I drew
Enjoy this great weather. And, it’s a beautiful drawing! Happy Day. 😀
Thank you, bit cooler today 🙂
Great drawings – I also love the mix of brown paper (packaging ?) on the white.
Thanks, yes it’s ordinary brown packaging paper stuck into the sketchbook with Pritt stick glue.
So evocative Rosie.. and yes hot and still is amazing !
Thanks – it’s a bit cooler today – quite foggy here
I`ve finally figured why I find your illustrations so wonderful: they bring me back to the books of my childhood, when illustrators conveyed the essence of the story with a few deftly placed ink strokes. Love the mix of brown paper on white too. Wonderful.
Thank you. I draw in real life situations so I have to be evry fast – it’s good discipline
