Goodbye Bouldering Wall …

Here are a couple of post-bouldering sketches I did, still at The Wall in Ulverston, but at the end of the session when people were having a rest. This climber was nice and still as he had a sit-down after a strenuous climb. And this one took a breather standing up, but quite still, so easier toContinue reading “Goodbye Bouldering Wall …”

Scribbling Bouldering 6.

Here are the last few drawings from my visit to Ulverston’s “The Wall” with my young relatives. While they and Husb bouldered, I sat and sketched. These few below are the first ones I did, extra speedy to warm up.

Here’s another couple of scribbles from The Wall in Ulverston, where Husb and I visited last week. He bouldered with some of our younger relatives while I scribbled. Here are some very quick sketches of two of the littler ones.

Sensibly, there were some very deep fallContinue reading “Scribbling Bouldering 3.”

The bouldering wall is covered in odd, bright shapes, handholds and footholds. I put photos of them through Adobe Photoshop to go withContinue reading “Scribbling Bouldering 2.”

Husb and I spent a few days in The Lake District last week, in the lovely little town of Ulverston. Husb joined some of our young relatives on the climbing wall. The technique is called bouldering and I’d never heard of it before. Of course, I had to have a scribble. It was a greatContinue reading “Scribbling Bouldering 1.”
