Porthleven sketch

Following on from my previous post - here's a sketch I did of the view in Porthleven looking across the harbour


There is something so nice about being on holiday and sketching - even when I'm not on holiday I enjoy taking my sketchbook with me and jotting down the things that catch my eye...


remember the Location tab
shows where in Cornwall this is

(PS:  zoom in on the RED A on screen and
take a wander around the harbour)

If you're on ipad when you look Cris, there's a little Blue man bottom right of the screen, you don't need to move him, just click on him and it should zoom in :-)

Lovely sketch Ann , very fresh ! I should definitely do some more sketching too, it's a very good exercise .

Thanks Jane, you're right sketching is a good exercise, it reminds us to actually 'see' not assume what is there doesn't it.

Ciao Ann,
è sempre una grande soddisfazione vedere qualcosa e fissarlo sul foglio,, è come dargli un'altra vita...
Ciao, abbracci, Floriana

Many thanks Floriana. I think drawings are better than photographs don't you :-)
Molte grazie Floriana. Penso che i disegni sono meglio di fotografie non si

Beautiful sketch, Ann. Makes me wish I could visit that place for a vacation. Also, I love the cover photo for your blog. Gorgeous photo.

Thanks Faye. I can recommend Cornwall for holidays, it's a lovely place. Glad you like the header picture, that was taken down in Dorset at Studland, again another lovely place.
