A SUNNY WEEK IN MALAGA, COSTA DEL SOL, SPAIN


SKETCHING IN SPAIN, SOMETHING I HAVE NOT DONE FOR A GOOD FEW YEARS.

In early March it was surprisingly fine and sunny, blue skies every day. Very cold first thing in the morning though.  We flew from London City Airport, where we had to wait an extra hour for the flight with BA as it was delayed.

FEBRUARY SKETCHES 2016

WE WENT TO THE DESTINATIONS SHOW AT OLYMPIA, FEBRUARY 2016

I managed to do a sketch, while perched on a high stool, with a paper cup full of weak coffee.

LONDON URBAN SKETCHES IN WINTER 2016

URBAN SKETCHING CONTINUES, BASED IN LONDON AND THE SOUTH WEST

I am trying out a variety of drawing media, including Derwent Inktense sticks and Inktense water soluble pencils. I usually add watercolour and sometimes a little white gouache.
