I am so tired I can hardly think, I am sunburnt and my shoulders ache! All in the persuit of art. I had to get up very early to be in the Park by 9 am as I had ponies to feed and the farm toyota to get together as John had a meeting during the day so he had the car.
Anyway these are the drawings I did in the park, the top one is of one of the town hall windows and the bottom one of a very ornate seat. I did one side, the closest and then wasnt sure where to go from there, I havent got into the habit of blocking in the whole before I start on a bit, so I was very surprised when it actually came together quite well. I tried using pencils but I find I am more confident with my pen, even tho you can see my mistakes better, like this side back piece was far too long.
I cant believe how tired I am, I hope I get it together a bit more today. It was a quite beautiful day and really nice people.
I have found that I really dont have quite the right equipment, need more brushes of a type I dont have and paper and its quality makes such a difference.

THESE ARE LOVELY!!! And yes, art and arting can wear one out!!!
I love Lin's phrase, but she's right - "arting" can be very tiring!
:-)
I think being more comfortable with a pen than pencil shows that you are gaining self confidence for this type of sketch. They are both really very good -- the bench is beautiful, and must have been fun to do!
These are so nice Penny. You could take a little nap on that great park bench!
This new art teacher of mine would tell you that the little extra lines are actually quite good as they give the drawing a looseness and I can see what he means here. They are really very good, Pamela.

You did a great job with this Penny! I really like your watercolour efforts too. Good for you doing a class. A watercolour class is next on my agenda as soon as I can make some time for it. :o) Keep up the great work, you're making excellent progress.
Penny, you can work magic with that Pen. like Teri C, I want also want to lie down on that park bench and take a nap. Beautiful work.
