I have joined a challenge to complete a sketch for every day in May. Here is a collage of my first week’s attempts. The topics were: Draw something bubbly, a favourite sound, something that represents joy, your socks, a pine a fir or a eucalypt, perfume or a scented product, something you got for free. Hopefully you can figure out which is which.
Now, just 24 days to go…
I went to my first Urban Sketchers sketchcrawl today. We went out to Cockatoo Island to draw cranes (or whatever took your fancy). And Judy came along to take photos.
These are my fledgeling attempts. Very nice bunch of people, great day.
I am privileged to work in a beautiful location, which I frequently fail to fully appreciate.
I sat for a while at my local bus stop and sketched the terrace houses on the other side of the street.
Several buses came and went, and quite a few passengers-to-be, as well as patrons of the new Chinese restaurant just behind me, looked over my shoulder as I drew. Hard to know what they thought – only one passer-by commented (encouragingly, as it happened).
Another beautiful day in Sydney.
An almost pefect day. The gardens were filled with families, friends, frisbee-players, sun-worshippers, lovers, newspaper-readers, gossips. And, as the sun set and the revellers retreated to their evening pursuits, a beautiful serenity.
