Lovely mixture of marks, and the splashes of colour lifts it up. Very nice.

Thank you Andre. The green was difficult to get with a simple box, it's that weathered colour of copper over years, it's not correct but OK for this..

I'm rather liking the understated simplicity Derek, and those trees are great.

Excellent sketch Derek, love the trees with the small amount of added colour for the leaves.

An excellent drawing Derek

Thank you David. I really had to concentrate and take a long time with so many straight lines, which wouldn't have fazed me time ago, but now with old age and other stuff... I set out to test myself not just capture the scene

A4 sketch book. Today's work on the 10th anniversary of the start of Urban Sketchers world wide (I think), in the ctr of the city. I chose the opposite to all the others, so whats new I hear you say? I was going to get some figures in but coffee beckoned and most were round at the cenotaph. The chimes and the music were poignant at 11/11

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
