Well, nobody waisted any time getting September off to a flying start. The church and flowers are very well portrayed Hilary. I like the use of those pens and the effect you have achieved. Again, great flowers Gillian, with that added touch of colour. Your boat, using the figure 8, is very good as well as Tessa’s. I’m a fan of wooden small boats, as opposed to the aluminium ‘tinies’ that proliferate here. Along with Dixie’s theme of trees, my sketch today is taken from a photo I took long time ago as a reference for a future painting. Dixie, keep going with the trees, they are very calming. I’m sticking with charcoal and Conte crayon today.

Thank you Hilary for the info on your pens, I’ll definitely look them up, though I’m not sure I need any more art stuff! Surprising how it accumulates over the years. I like the chunk of wood, the window (always a good subject I think) and the brick wall. Simple and real subjects all, but good to sketch what’s there in front of us and not have to go looking for it.
Keep safe all. Visitors going later today so I’ll be back in the groove then!

and then painted it with gouache and added lettering. I'm hooked.
Not a perfect 'chibi' image, as the head should be a little larger, I'll get there.

I love the creativity let loose on the simplest of subjects. Gillian, a great view of the window, since very often we just look through instead of at. Again, Hilary, the brick wall is something most people walk past without seeing the artistic significance as you have captured here. Well, I have never attempted Manga but it looks very slick CJ. I thought I had better get something done before our Father’s Day get together here (and, of course, it’s raining today). It’s a bird I keep seeing in the garden, but they are too quick to spot with the binoculars. The Blue Fairy Wren.
