Sketching Update Christmas 2015

Here are some sketches that were never put on this blog. I have generally been posting things on Twitter instead of here so I thought it would be good to get this blog up to date over the Christmas period.

Denzell Gardens Book Festival, Altrincham 2015

Sketch done on the day, but I may add colour later.

Sketching Update October 2014

Sketching Update September 2014

I thought that it was about time I updated my sketching work on the blog; so here are some of this years scribbles. As you can see I have finally started to use watercolours in my work and great fun that is too!

A few weeks ago I got to go sketching in Salford Media City with the wonderful Manchester Urban Sketchers. Over a couple of hours on a very windy day I got a couple of sketchers done, the second one literally being blown out of my hands. Fortunately I caught the sketchbook before it was blown into the dock.

Media City , Salford Quays.

View of Salford Quays landscape; windswept!

Manchester Urban Sketching group sketchbooks.

A week in Dublin gave me the chance to do these nice urban sketches...
