Sketching on Deal beach in January with frozen fingers..
The fishing boats sell their catch on the beach itself.
Pen and ink.

A small sketch in graphite. I tried to get a feeling of depth by using lighter pencil in the background.

I braved the January cold for this little view.. (A belated happy new year to everyone) :-)

 Here's some more experimenting with watercolour and pen & ink. I worked from a photo building up the washes and then adding in detail with the pen. Was a good learning exercise :-) Colours used : French ultramarine blue, Windsor blue, burnt umber and burnt sienna, rose carmine and Gamboge yellow.

Another small sketch to hit off my return to regular blogging! For this I used a Sharpie pen which has a very fine point.

Another coffeeshop sketch.

A drawing of my brother's flat. It's a linework piece with some hatched shadows. The direction of the hatching suggests light coming from a particular direction.
