Hi Sylvia , I know it’s your favourite flower and you have painted some beautiful examples . The first of these pen and pastel sketch’s was inspired by a photo sent to me , the second is from a pot in the garden that I was clearing out .

Your pen and ink work gets better and better Paul.  The combination of pastel and pen is very effective.  Not something I’ve tried.

Last night quick sketch , I’ve not been able to get out and paint for the last week due to other things taking priority, I get so frustrated when I can’t so try to do something simple and quick in the evening at the dining table. This took around ten to twelve minutes and satisfied the must do something itch a simple pen and wash , lately I’ve used pastel but thought for a change I’d do a wash .

Nice to see your back with us Martin . Did this very quickly last night while listening to some music, inspired by some black and white photos I was looking at earlier in the evening.

Quick sketch started in a waiting area. With a simple wash add at home. On 100 x 150mm old fashioned watercolour postcard. Which I have recently started to carry with me. For that unexpected opportunity

I know the feeling Gillian,  I have had a busy year - accidents and incidents - holidays, visitors from the Antipodes, strange weather demanding gardening activities.  But I am changing my bad habits and returning to the fold. Impressive sketching from all and well done for keeping the thread going. Although I didn’t usually contribute to this thread, it doesn’t mean that I don’t sketch. I have just finished another A3 sketch book and had to get another one.  The tutor at the life class that I go to each week, always puts in lots of quick poses, to get our hand eye coordination going.  So I now have books full of them and wondered what to do with them.  I think kindling paper would be a good use as I know that eventually when I pop my clogs the will end up in the tip. Here are a couple of my quickies.
