‘The mudflats looked gooey and the gulls were at it: the Usk a ver-ry different river to the sparkling cutie-pie inland’.

Eh? Football? Well yeh!

A digital sketch I did at h&m while waiting for my mum to buy a new pair of jeans. The other pair she brought too tight. My legs and back was aching badly from all the walking, plus my heavy sling bag... It was rough #digitalart #digital #booxtablet #usk #usksg #urbansketch #themessyurbansketch

Thursday morning with the Plein Air Artists of HRM at Bedford Basin Yacht Club. A beautiful day 🌞

In case folks are wondering where I've been, and why I've stopped drawing... I'm holidaying with family! Tried to squeeze in some time to draw... But there isn’t much time at all. It's been tiring so I'm now trying to bring out very little gear

Beautiful morning for sketching and painting (in the shade at least).

Which one is your favorite? Left or Right? I have a small group show called Durham en Plein Air need to figure out my better paintings 😄

The face ended up very weird bc I was watching YT while sketching this (adhd much). But I like how it turned out! The train window too... one side is higher 😅. Only decided to draw it after writing the date 😅

Bonus plein air outing on a warm, sunny morning at Shubie Park. I sketched Lock 3, and did a value study of the Fairbanks Center in #bloodstonegenuine ❤️

Today's quick sketch. Once upon a time, I wondered the point of having three different liquid charcoals... Yeah sure the tone is different... But they are still rather similar?

Now I would beg to differ.

Yesterday's sketch. A bit of a different, cute looking sketch to start off this new sketchbook.

Saturday train sketches on the way back from the Sketch Up event... Tried to draw some crowds and finished up the last pages of my sketchbook.

I went to a sketch up event on Saturday! Used the cotton rag paper sketchbook from blue pine arts... Which I love bc it's really light... But this paper isn't great when there's lots of drawing, the fibers of the paper clogs my nib.

Sunday #halifaxusk outing at the Open Street Festival on Agricola St. I sketched Gus' Pub and a couple of well worn buildings on Charles St.

A very quick sketch at the public library while in between errands... Now I'm off to get some batteries...

A quick one near my house tonight. There was a dad in the playground with his daughter... But they were moving about all the time etc... So I only got to do this quick sketch after they left... Which was shortly after I sat down at the bench to sketch
