Something new, Christmas present, a diamond chip ring (the diamond bits are tiny, but I love it) off my hubby. #30daysketchbookchallenge. Pens, metallic paint and pencils. Hard to see detail as it’s so small!

Clouds
Clouds and rooves by the sea.
Quick sketches can be useful to remind you of a view. You can think about weather and how rain falls from the clouds over the sea. The jumble of buildings with slanting rooves, hunkered down for an impending storm.
Sketching fast gives you the chance to record something that may be fast moving, capture motion, in fleeting minutes the whole thing has changed!
Starting with C..
Today’s #30daysketchbookchallenge was to create an image starting with the letter C. So I decided to paint the cat having a wash by the heaters in the living room. Quick five minute sketch.
Watercolour washes. He kept moving!
Pyrophyllite silicate
At least that’s what I think it is? Looked through websites to try and identify it and I’ve labelled it now so I can remember…. Its a stone with a crystal flower shape on it, a bit like a dandelion…. Watercolour sketch. With metallic and normal watercolours.
#bandofsketchers prompt ‘stone’. Day 14.
Rainbow kitty
Tortie cat
Rainbow kitty
Big eyed
Lovely
You stare back.
Look of love
Remove stress
Now she purrs
To my caress.
Made of rainbows
Daisies
Clouds
So delicate
She’s a great
Cat!
Watching Sky Landscape artist..
Tried to paint Chartwell while watching #skylandscapeartist, bit old fashioned? Took about fifty minutes, in watercolour. Hard to hold my phone and a little A5 sketchpad at the same time and paint and watch the TV.
Watercolour sketch. My frozen shoulder makes my arm shake so the lines are a bit wobbly.
Day 13….
When your husband goes shopping….. Not sure which of these are essential… Day thirteen, #30daysketchbookchallenge, watercolour sketch, gloves, whisky, cycling magazine and newspaper. A very male collection of purchases.
Talacre 2011
Talacre is a beach on the North Coast if Wales đ´ó §ó ˘ó ˇó Źó łó ż. Its really interesting because there’s an old lighthouse with a sculpted metal figure of a person leaning over the walkway at the top of the tower. There is no access to it, but it makes it look occupied. There are sand dunes around it and then caravan sites nearby. It’s a few miles between Prestatyn and Flint and is actually on the Dee estuary I think. I hope one day to go back. X
2011
Visiting my friend in Yorkshire in 2011 just after he moved their. I can’t believe it’s so long ago.
In fact I remember the day we’ll. We went to sit by the river at Salts Mill and called in a riverside pub. We were looking over a cricket pitch and the wooded hills in the background. It was a hot sunny day. I love sketching instead of just taking photos….
#30daysketchbookchallenge day 12
Today’s #30daysketchbookchallenge is what’s in your pocket, keys, purse, phone and tissue to clean my glasses!
Watercolour and black marker pen in my A5 sketchpad..
