Sketching week 11

This week I've been reading Mason Hayek's  Seeing and Drawing. I have also bought some cheap
acrylic paints and started to try them. So here is the first effort, with 6b pencil, watercolour, and acrylic and a little felt pen. It's of a very old house in our vicinity of the city in a special historic precinct called the Hen and Chickens.


This is a patch of countryside from a photo taken near Les Baux in Provence, where bauxite ore was first identified. It is certainly unusual terrain but I don't think my sketch is good enough to capture what it is really like.

Next week we start a sketching group of U3A members. Should be fun, watch this space!
