Whenever I had a free day in Tokyo, this was the street I enjoyed walking the most. Summer was terrible in Japan as the weather was hot and extremely humid. I sweated all the time and it felt horribly uncomfortable in crowded places. But here in Omoto Sando, like an oasis, the trees gave lots of shade on both sides of the street. Supposedly a trendy area, this section was filled with young people making all kinds of fashion statement, small specialty shops and cute tiny restaurants. It had a bohemian atmosphere. Yet somehow I often thought of Blvd Haussman in Paris whenever I was here. The feeling was the same but the places were quite different.

Avec le groupe USK Lorient vendredi 3 décembre, il pleut, nous dessinons à l'intérieur de la gare.
Structure en bois qui fait écho à l'environnement maritime de la ville. Dans le hall, cette grande baie vitrée qui donne sur l'extérieur.
Croquis : Intérieur, extérieur, hier et aujourd'hui.
Aquarelle, encre et collage d'une photo de la 1ère gare inaugurée en 1862, détruite en 1943, une gare a été construite en 1966 qui a laissé la place à la nouvelle gare inaugurée en 2017.
This series of images began when I was captivated by some of the "Illustrative" techniques used by Richard Gregory. Richard kindly gave me some tips and here are some experimental images based on the Bruges Canal shot which I posted yesterday. Thanks, Richard. None of them look like yours but I did get one quite close for a while. Then I became interested in getting an engraving type effect, mono and tinted. These are the three results.Thanks again, RichardGregory48.
I’ve been intending to draw these roses in May at peak bloom but I kept missing the right time. Third time lucky.
As I was sketching the bunker doors, this photographer and model turned up and asked if they could work there. You can see that she moved more than he did.
I'm working on four preliminary sketches at the moment, to take forward into oil paintings. This is the third one. I got these photos early in the morning, hence the long shadows, in Italy at piazza Mazzini. Once painted with the grey paving applied, should look ok when painted up!!? Thanks for looking and following!!
Started drawing these amazing clouds appearing on the mountainside above the town. They disappeared as I drew them.
This was a commisioned drawing. I sketched this in a couple of sittings. One driver parked so as not to block my view. Another time, as I rested my sketch book on a car roof, the owner must have seen me and unlocked and locked the car till I moved away!
Drawn from Kanonen Bar. The waitress said that I have to draw quickly, the sun will disappear at 2:30 pm. She also said leave out the crane, it’ll look better without it!
Every spring, the water level of rivers and lakes rise once the snows have melted. It's always expected that there will be some amount of flooding but in recent years the flooding has been exceptional. During a short bike ride, I started this sketch of a park along the riverbank of the Ottawa River which is now under water. Many bike paths are now closed because they are also under water. Hopefully in a week or two this will all be gone.
Chaque printemps, le niveau d'eau des rivières et des lacs monte après la fonte des neiges. On s'attend toujours à ce qu'il y ait des inondations, mais ces dernières années, les inondations ont été exceptionnelles. Lors d'une courte balade à vélo, j'ai commencé ce croquis d'un parc le long de la rive de la rivière des Outaouais qui est maintenant sous l'eau. De nombreuses pistes cyclables sont maintenant fermées car elles sont également sous l'eau. Espérons que dans une semaine ou deux, tout cela aura disparu.
Drawn with Karlsruhe Urban Sketchers.
While I was sketching a man showed me his selfie he took with the flag to send to his girlfriend in Ukraine. Afterwards, a Ukrainian mothar and son posed for a selfie with the flag. Later on an old man walked up to the flag stopped and sung, with a good voice, what I presume had been the national anthem. After singing he carried on walking.
The first snowfall of last week still lingers in certain parts of the Ottawa-Gatineau. While the streets and sidewalks have been snow-free for a while, lawns seem to have kept a thin crust of the white stuff to remind us that winter approaches. While waiting during my wife's appointment, I parked in downtown Ottawa and sketched MacDonald Gardens Park - a park with a pavilion on top of a hill. It was quiet. In a strange sort of way, the autumn cold kept most strollers away but the winter cold and deep snow had yet to arrive and attract the tobboganers on the hill!

Les premières neiges de la semaine dernière restent encore dans certains quartiers d'Ottawa-Gatineau. Si les rues et les trottoirs sont dégagés depuis un certain temps, les pelouses semblent conserver une fine couche de neige, comme pour nous rappeler que l'hiver approche. En attendant le rendez-vous de ma femme, je me suis stationé au centre-ville d'Ottawa et j'ai dessiné le parc MacDonald Gardens, un parc avec un pavillon au sommet d'une colline. Le calme y régnait. Étrangement, le froid automnal tenait la plupart des promeneurs à l'écart, mais le froid hivernal et la neige abondante n'étaient pas encore arrivés pour attirer les adeptes de la luge sur la colline!

Oststadt had dozens of fleamarkets in the courtyards. A great chance to get too see all these normally hidden views.
