I took my sketchbook on my recent holiday, but wasn’t particularly interested in using it at first because I really needed a break. After a few days, though, it happened in a completely unforced way. Husb and I were walking along the main road towards Kyrenia with the Kyrenia Mountain looming above us. Well, it just had to be done. I used conté crayons in black, white and sanguine into a brown paper A4 sketchbook. The sketch was very quick and is more about my feelings at the time than a detailed topographical drawing. Which is fine by me.
I really like this. I’ve been scribbling away at the fells here in Cumbria today, also using conte crayons.
They’re great, I used conte when I visited Cumbria in the summer 😊
