Quick sketch

The views around us here in Devon are definitely paintings waiting to be tried.  However, the weather isn't always in our favour for stopping to plein air, so I try to use my 'memory' to recall the view later.  It is good practise as memory recall on views is an important part of painting, imho ;)

And is exactly what I did with this Ink & Watercolour using a postcard pad, which incidentally I've been using for some of the Dottie/Barney sketches recently (see my other blog).

Not an exactness, but pretty near...

Quite pleased with this as there's enough information for me to do an oil painting of it one day.

I still sketch

Although I'm very into Oil painting these days, I do still Sketch.  The other day I picked up the dip-pen and bottle of ink and basically doodled...then the Kelpies appeared

I've sketched these before (you may remember them)

but there is just something about the Lines and Shapes that is so tempting to draw.

Here's a link about the Kelpies ⬅️
