Love this quick capturing of the scene before you in pen and intense pencils Stephen, great little piece!

many thanks Ros, little sketches remind me of trips more than photos.

Great little reminder - I keep a little diary as I travel around and draw little thumbnail sketches in it as I go along - really treasure these reminders.

Many thanks Michael, I find the Inktense pencils handy for adding a little colour to small sketches like this.

Nice one Stephen! I know Rouen quite well and it really is a beautiful town. Your drawing looks very spontaneous and lively.

Great little sketch which tells us exactly what is going on. Lovely dynamic pen work and just the right amount of colour.

A great little sketch. Your line and wash work is always super, Stephen.

Had an enjoyable but tiring weekend, on a coach tour in Normandy. The first stop was in Rouen, which I had not visited before but found it to be a lovely city. Did this quick little pen sketch, with some colour added with a few Inktense pencils.
