This is a little bit back to front, as I’ve shown the Wednesday sketching first. But I like it. And the girls were deeply engrossed. Let me introduce you. Meet Therese, Karen, Elaine and Jenny. We arrived on Monday morning, left bags at the office, and met at the only cafe for a warm up [...]

It was Sketch Club and International Sketchcrawl day. At last I had a Saturday free, and I could take part. The day dawned with a complete fog-out. My biggest concern was that the ferry would be able to see it’s way across to the city and over to the island. Yes it could see just [...]

Part of the pleasure of eating beautiful food, is the surrounds you are in. Atmosphere is a large part of setting of the scene. The colour. The decor. The table setting. The sounds. The feeling. The mood . The greeting. The view. The aroma. The anticipation. The menu. People arriving. I like being at a table 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 [...]

Managed to get to Sketch Club today. I can do the Sunday ones if all the stars are aligned. This was a very appealing place to sketch. Everyone met in front of the Art Gallery NSW and trotted down the steps to Woolloomooloo. How about that for a place name! It’s aboriginal but I need [...]

This one began life as a little sketch I did while sitting on the steps in the sun, at Manly Cove. It’s 2nd life was when the colour was applied and it became a greeting card and print. Third time lucky was the large line & watercolour sketch I did recently. But it’s luck ran [...]

The Sun is out. Perhaps beginning to go down. It is 6.22pm. What a difference the sunshine makes. This is the day before Christmas. People go at dawn to the Seafood market, as fish and Seafood is one of our revered Christmas Day meals. Of course we still follow tradition and have Turkey, ham or [...]
