Sketching down the river

31/10/2015

0 Comments

 
After such good day out sketching in London at the start of the month, Me and Hong thought we'd finish the month out sketching again. This time somewhere more local.

Along with other artists Vincent Ball, and Rob Davis, Me and Hong set out to the river Stort in Harlow with our pens and paper, plus a flask of tea.
Picture
We started off at the Moorhen Marina with a 10 minute warm up sketch of the boats.

We all stopped of at several spots along the river to capture the views, we each took a different angle to capture it in our own way. In the image above you can see I've drawn in Vince, on the other side of the lock.
Picture
The view of the glass factory is one I really wanted to draw for a long time as it is an important asset, and holds a lot of history to Harlow as a post war new town with a booming Industry. It is also the reason both my grandparents moved to work in Harlow.
Picture
We finished off with a 25 minute sketch of the famous Zig-Zag bridge, which I was also keen to draw.

I think we all made progress though out the day in our sketching. The timing also makes good practice, we'll definitely do it again some time.

Starting to feel winter creeping upon us. So it must be about time to start designing 'Winter Cards'.
Picture
I don't want to give too much away before its finished but heres a peek of it half way.

I'll upload more pictures once the whole design is completed and cards are printed ready for sale.

It was time for the annual camping trip at the weekend, So I've spent the last few nights out in the forest in a tent.
Picture
Theres nothing quite like cooking your dinner on an open fire at night under the stars.
Picture
This year I managed to climb to the top of Luckey Tor from the more challenging side, which was good fun.

Climbing 2015
One thing that made it really great though, was having baby Zihni come to visit us in the daytime for his lunch and afternoon naps.
Picture
Maybe next year I'll try to find the time to paint the beautiful river Dart, which runs so close to where we camp.
Picture
But for this year I'll make do with this scene of the girls playing with Zihni in the camp while the lads have a climb of the Tor.

Sketch London

Spent a rainy day out sketching in London with Hong Voong.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Each sketch was timed at 10 minutes. Creating a real sence of discipline.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Using a different medium for each sketch, from charcoal, to brush and inks watercolours to simple, finline, ballpoint and felt tip pens,
Picture
Some of the results were compromised by the weather, and lack of shelter.
Picture
Still a great day out and well worth traveling out of town for, We will be back here soon for a second go at it.
