Quick sketch by Marjorie Firth

Beautiful sketch Marjorie; lovely washes too.

Looks a lovely place Marjorie and you have done a great sketch of it.

Really lively and fresh Marjorie.

Nice one and lovely washes as Karen has said

Thanks Karen, Paul, Bryan and Heather. I’ve finally realised that travelling light with art materials is the way to go - I used to take everything bar the kitchen sink!

Lovely Marjorie. Beautiful soft colours

Great sketches Marjorie.

I always like a good ‘double pager’ and this is lovely. Enjoy your holiday Marjorie and keep sketching great ideas for later paintings!

Splendid sketch, your ‘impression’ is much more personal than a photograph.

A great sketch Marjorie.

This is really lovely, Marjorie! I love the immediacy of the piece, and the wonderful contrasting lines and marks. Beautifully done!

Lovely working sketch Marjorie.

Thanks a lot everyone - you’re right Andrew, you take in so much more with a sketch.

Beautiful feel of light in your sketch!

Thanks Janet - you’ve made me feel homesick!😂

Super sketch Marjorie...a sense of place.

So lovely Marjorie you captured the moment with sun and shadow. Lucky you being there 😊

Thanks Sylvia and Carole - I do feel very lucky Carole. I love Italy.

Look’s gorgeous! I’m on holiday too - no time for sketching though!

Lovely colour combinations, Marjorie!
