‘Sketching People’ in watercolour & pen’

Sketching People

These sketches are in a range of settings. Sketched quietly, in an A5 Daler-Rowney Red & Yellow sketch pad. Using my Winsor & Newton travelling watercolour set and a waterproof fineliner pen and on ‘Collar Up’, a brush pen.

‘Budleigh Reader’

Some brief sun today at Budleigh Salterton. On the seafront, an older man enjoys it, whilst reading his book.
Nice strong shadows today.

‘Sitting in the Green’

22nd April 2012
Mostly sunny on the prom on Budleigh Salterton’s seafront. Popped down on my own, after all the heavy April showers we have been having lately. It seemed very pleasant to see so many folks out enjoying the sun too.

‘Running Repairs’

9th August 2012
Down at Budleigh Salterton today to return our library​ books. Then setting off for a short stroll along the beach.
The sea today is very still and like a glassy mirror. The beach is quite quiet, but there are a few people out & about. Two ladies are swimming in the sea.
The fishermen are sorting out there catch and selling it on the beach.
Another fisherman is sitting repairing one of his floats, perched on his covered boat.

‘Bathtub View’

Sketching in my hot bath, just for a laugh. Rather awkward as it turns out, having to hold my sketchbook out of the water.
