....this sketch is across two pages in my concertina Seawhite sketchbook. It takes watercolour well.
~ The Arcade Carriage Museum ~

This next painting could become a completed work, once framed with a matt/mount board.
(measures 12" x 9")
Drawn with dip ink using my 'improvised pen' - a piece of bamboo with a matchstick in it - matchstick sharpened to a point. It gives a random line, which sometimes can be better than using a standard pen
I moved position a couple of times whilst there and got another view of this granary,
which as you see, still awaits watercolour which I will do in the studio.
The great advantage to being there in person, is that the scene and feel of the place imprints itself in the brain, completing a painting at home is like I'm still there.
I was delighted when my friend Elsie Roff happened along. Being a great photographer she took some photos of me drawing....
Can you tell it was windy and cold there, I was prepared with extra jumpers as layers but even so I got frozen brrrrr!, which is when I retreated to the arcade
.......ahhh what artists go through, lol.

I smiled when I read about your experience with the cold. I was taking photos a few days ago and almost had frostbite on one hand.
Love the photo your friend took. It looks cold.
Well done, Ann.
I love the sketches and seeing the inspired artist hard at work - I'm just sorry *she* was cold! :-)

Gives new meaning to 'suffering artist!" Brrrr :0 Lovely scenes though. I like the granary!
Oh dear, you are suffering for your art but so worth it :)
I was lucky last week when the weather was sunny, but sometimes you just have to 'get out there' don't you, lol.
I eventually warmed up, lol
Precisely!...makes it all worthwhile, lol ....brrrrrrrr
I know, but there was a point when I nearly packed up completely, lol
