The mood . The greeting. The view. The aroma. The anticipation. The menu. People arriving. I like being at a table and [...]

It was so wet outside we could barely see the beach through the window. Mono colour. Soft blues/greys. Umbrellas. But we were inside and cosily seated in the Red Room at our big table, at Bathers’ Pavilion. Very happily.

We decided that the last Saturday of term should be a bit of an outing for everyone one to join in. Luckily the weather was not the usual Easter downpour, but a blue day with plenty of sun. Off we went on the ferry and made our way to the – where else – the [...]

I’m onto food sketches at the moment. Wasn’t planning this one, but I’d been checking a boating location for my Sketch Class nearby ( from where I did a sketch ) however – we always complete the class in a cafe. I like Three Beans just round the corner from where I’d been (bean) and [...]

I’m very thrilled to show you what Alissa and Liz did in that silent 5 minutes. When you see the 3 very different approaches, you’ll know what is so exciting about sketching, and each one tells a story. Each of us has a style of sketchpad we favour, and the pens we choose are very [...]

It was a most delightful evening with two dedicated Sketcher friends. I’m talking SERIOUSLY dedicated. Every day a sketch or 3. International Symposiums. Sketching kit always in their handbags. You see what I mean!! Guess who forgot hers!! This was Alissa and Liz who hadn’t seen my exhibition at Bather’s Pavilion. We’d therefore decided to make [...]

Oh they put on a 5 Star Opening at The Bather’s Pavilion. Between 6.30 and 8.30 the invited guests cruised up the grand staircase to the exhibition upstairs. Da daaa. Those who’d been before knew that if they went up the far stairs, they’d get their first glass before coming round to be greeted. The [...]
