Great figures Lew, all three have that very Victorian look. My offering for today a quick watercolour, about 45 mins.

Have just started reading " Erebus" by Michael Palin, your explorers very apt. Some of the watercolours of the arctic, superb! Saw some other watercolours yesterday at Abbot Hall gallery, Victorian explorers, amazing!!

Interesting Gudrun - got me searching re archival quality pens!  I don't sell my stuff at the moment so it hasn't been an issue (though I have thought of it - and did think prints might be the way to go for ink stuff). Great imaginative images, Lew - good to see you are managing to find some time to sketch, even if not as much as usual.   I do like your series of old vehicles, Paul - these old vehicles seem to have so much more character than today's!

Just back from art group, finishing off a painting, but did this 10 minute sketch of one of the other ladies there. We generally do our own thing, but it’s been suggested we pursue sketch book stuff for 10 minutes at the beginning of each session, so it seems to be catching on!

I do like that quick art class sketch, Tessa - well captured - bet she didn't stay still!   Lovely graphic flower image, Richard.   Nice action labrador sketch, Linda. Gudrun, you inspired me to do some more bird sketches - used to do quite a few.  A quick sketch of curlew from one of my own photos - fountain pen.

Good movement on the Labrador. I don't think that is easy to achieve in a quick sketch,

Great Curlew sketch Margaret and Richard I have a good way of working out proportion size for birds and animals now, I look at my ref photo and draw circles, ovals, rectangles that I observe in the photo then fill in the gaps with more definite lines. Also I think these daily sketches really help to gain confidence.
