Last drawing of the year whilst feeding the ducks. Trying to sketch in the rain is probably not a good idea but I quite liked the effect of that happened when I shut the sketchbook.
Wishing everybody good health and happiness for 2014!
I need to get back to doing some proper urban sketching , so I thought I would draw up a list of places and share it on the blog. Do you have anymore to add?
I added some more to the drawing I started on Saturday of the area near to the new entrance at East Croydon station. Building work is still going on around the pathway but it certainly opens up lots of great views of the town. I stuck another page onto my sketchbook to continue this and can't decide whether to stop here or add some more.
A couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to draw some ‘speedy
sketches’ at a networking event locally.It seemed to go down well and nobody sued, so when the organiser Jackie
Groundsell asked me back, this time for the Beckenham Business Association
Christmas meeting, I said yes.The venue
was a restaurant called ‘Friends of Mine’ on the High Street and a variety of
people to draw.As before I offered to
do a quick line drawing and post it on my blog with a link back to a business
or organisation.I added a wash layer
later and, as before, some are better than others!
One of the exhibits at the Museum of Croydon, a Trojan ‘Bubble
car’, made along with about 6000 others at their factory in Purley Way, Croydon
in the early 1960s.
