When you are out for lunch, or going for a day trip its good to ditch the camera sometimes and just sketch the view. It might end up a bit skewiff but that doesn’t matter, you are making personal memories, things to remember, like the way my friends hat dominated our table at a local restaurant Amore, in Newcastle-under-lyme or the fact I always seem to eat lunch before I think about recording what it looked like. We had a huge meal at the New Inn at Dyserth. Then drawing a view of a landmark, trying to catch its character and the sunlight hitting the tree trunk just at the right angle to cast its shadow on the huge stone walls behind it. Drawing the oddly angled steps that are made to bend round protruding rocks and the stone wall at Dyserth Falls…oh I cram a lot in on day trips!
I like these sketches! The second one reminds me of a print, like a linoleum or woodcut print.

Thanks, I usually do quick sketches if I’m with people on a day out as I dont like holding them up x I’m in a group of urban sketchers as well.

Love it! Sometimes I am afraid to sketch because it won’t be perfect! Thanks for showing us it doesn’t have to be! Just a base for the final drawing!
