Back to Autumn 2016 and some random sketches that I did out and about. I really should do more. I’m still out and about but I find I’m participating more and more in what’s going on around me and don’t want to interrupt it with scribbling. Maybe I was more curmudgeonly back in the dayContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 67”

Scribbling A Little Group
Husb and I went to a barbecue a few evenings ago, at a neighbours house, where many musicians played and the company was lovely and cheerful. A good opportunity to sit and sketch, I drew this group in pencil.
A Quick One In The Café
Another little scribble in my sketchbook snatched quickly in a café as someone was waiting for their cuppa.
Just Sitting And Sketching
Husb and I went to a barbecue at a lovely neighbour’s house yesterday evening: the weather was warm and gentle; the company lovely and cheerful; and there were many musicians making music. I sat quietly in a corner and sketched a bit while people listened to the music.

Back to October 2016 for this sketch archive. Technically not a sketchbook; I attended an event and took my drawing board and sheets of paper prepared with white gesso and my own home-made walnut husk ink. I really enjoy making art in public.

More Stopover Sketching…
Here’s another scribble I did during my hour and a half stopover in Manchester Piccadilly train station on the way back from visiting in the Lake District the other week. This chap was totally engrossed in his phone. I was drawing from a mezzanine about the main station concourse.
Stopover Sketching
I was visiting in the Lake District the other week and travelled by train. I had an hour and a half stopover in Manchester on the way back so I had a picnic and a scribble in my sketchbook. The lad on the right had an interesting hairdo; like a pudding basin cut with flick-upsContinue reading “Stopover Sketching”

Ten years ago it was hot beach weather. Not as punishingly hot as it’s been for the past few days, but still hot hot hot!
Stayed In Sniffling…
Here’s another sketch I did en plein air last Spring in the Lake District. I was hoping to have done more last week when I visited, but it seems I might have developed geriatric hay fever and I ended up mostly staying indoors, sniffling. Ah well, I’ll stay by the sea in summer in future.
