Sometimes I work from photos

As needs must occasionally and it was that case on a recent visit to Dorset.

We went along to Sandbanks and across to Shell Bay using the ferry.  As much as I would have liked to sketch plein air, there just wasn’t enough time. When the ferry arrives, you have to be ready to drive on, so photos had to suffice, but Graham did have time to walk from the queue of cars and see the ferry coming back.

I expect some of you will have seen these sketches on Facebook, but some of you don’t use Facebook, so here they are...

Overnight trip to France - SHOPPING & SIGHTSEEING

No, it wasn't a booze cruise...

we genuinely went Shopping plus Sightseeing

I didn't have a great deal of time for sketching whilst there

apart from on the boat and from memory with this first sketch, the view as we drove into Plymouth

to board 




Even though we were leaving the port at night,

I could just glean outlines of the dock and a building



By morning there was the usual porthole view....well, part of it anyway

PORT HOLE DRAWING - the view was SEA SEA and SEA


We drove down to Brest and luckily the cable car was in action this time...had to have a go,

although Graham wasn't too sure, he thought it was a LONG LONG WAY DOWN!



and a sightseeing walk around 


I loved this art installation of washing on a line



(spot Graham looking perplexed)

Did a one-line sketch of a campervan when we parked up for shopping



The day went all too quickly and we were soon on the boat again travelling home.

I needed a subject and luckily one appeared before me, lol
