Gosh, I can’t believe it’s my 50th sketchblog post – that’s really quite scary, especially considering how little time I actually spend drawing these days! It’s been a good week for my sketchbooks, because I went to the seaside for a few days and was able to be a lady of leisure…
…my mornings were spent in my pyjamas, looking out over the sea as I wrote letters, read books on my Kindle, and devoured hot cross buns and endless cups of tea; my afternoons were spent ambling around the little town and wasting time in the penny arcade. I did make one excursion to the top of Beeston Bump with the vague idea of doing some sketching of the view… but the wind was howling so ferociously that I beat a hasty retreat back to the apartment (once I’d caught my breath after the climb up!). So much for that idea! To be fair, January really isn’t the best time of year to be sketching en plein air, the weather is generally a deterrent.
I did also tackle a couple more of the EDM challenges:
Still working in biro only in that sketchbook, which I’m finding challenging but actually good practice. It was nice to work in watercolours again in my other book though, albeit briefly, and I must try and remember to use both books regularly in future.
Thanks for stopping by, and don’t forget to visit Hayley and Jenna to see what’s in their books this week.
