Sketching Week 18

Urban Sketch

 

 

 

Our U3ASketching group met at Puke Ariki, our Museum-cum-library in the centre of town, on a beautiful, still, sunny afternoon.

 

Here is my sketch looking up Brougham Street. I was sitting on a seat by the Puke Ariki Landing, an open community space so called because it was where the surf boats landed passengers and cargo from the ships anchored off shore in the nineteenth century before the port was built.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the village of Llangollen in Wales, where the eisteddfod is held, where choirs from all over the world compete. Several of our friends have attended with the New Zealand National Male Choir.

 

The railway is only a tourist attraction; it doesn't actually go very far.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today I was sitting waiting at the Post Shop and people were coming and going quite quickly.

 

Here are a few of them, sketched in a few seconds each.
