Well a new month is upon us ( apparently) and there I was thinking it was the 31st July! Welcome to our August. Sketch a day challenge. It’s just for fun.  sketching is a way to record what we see in the world around us  and they become the basis for our paintings .  Do join in either with a sketch or just a chat

Nice work Sylvia and George. I’ll start on some new stuff next week hopefully, I’m busy with the oil paints at present - so in the meantime, here’s another from the archives! An old oak tree in the field next to my place!

Don't know if this sort of thing is of any interest.  It's me scribble-sketching for a possible picture.  If it happens it'll be a movie poster style pic, and I'll have to look up the dress style (and find out what binoculars actually look like)...it'll be 1900s style fantasy adventure stuff.  These are doodled ideas in a cheap sketchbook I use for idea scribbles.

Definitely of interest Lew , I love looking at the rough draft sketch's , we had a thread about them a few years back it didn’t really get off the ground .

Agreed… my preference actually, I like to see the ‘bare bones’ if you like! Great scribbles Lew. I’ve probably got a few hundred at least in my portfolios, stuff that never really got finished -  lots being life drawings from college days, I don’t want to throw them away - but they can stay put, I don’t show those.

I wouldn’t call them rough drafts, it’s more me playing around to see if I’m interested enough to carry the idea through to a picture.  If I am, it’s then I’d do a rough draft.  I’m sure we all do something similar.

I seem to be in non painting mode at present, but Lew’s pen drawing posts and the return of Gill’s sketch a day inspired me to get out the pencils and sketch these Cotswold sheep passed on my morning walk.
