Sunday Sketches

Over at Blue Chair Diary it's Sunday Sketches. I've decided I'll take part in this. It will encourage me to keep drawing and sketching. I love painting, but when I get a bee in my bonnet about something I tend to just focus on that. For the last few weeks I've been on a sewing mindset. I've prepared some canvases, but haven't quite go the ideas refined as to what to paint on them. I'm torn between continuing my Butterfly work and starting some landscapes.

I've been taking walks this week down to the prom and past the new heritage centre. I sit at Church point gazing across the bay, frequently berating myself for forgetting camera or sketchbook. However this week I remembered. I took my book and did a quick (and I mean quick) sketch.


Maybe this will become the starting point for a painting - maybe not.

  6. Lovely butterfly and the sketch is awesome, I would definitely paint it but would also keep the sketch as it stands on its own and could be used for many things.
