A passing local told me this was her favourite part of the town. I said that I loved the cobbles. She said “only with flat soled shoes”.
Looking out my window, I notice things that take place at regular moments throughout the day almost like clockwork. I'm not alluding to sunrises and sunsets, although these are obvious measures of the day. What I'm referring to are things like the neighbourhood kids walking to school in the early morning, a retired senior cycling after breakfast, the postman delivering the mail around noon and people dutifully walking their dogs at particular moments. Clockwork events. They give a kind of rythm to the day. For example, while I'm reading the news on my iPad at 9:00 am, I've regularly noticed two guys walking their pooch in front of my house. This has gone on repeatedly through summers and winters, maybe pausing briefly when the weather turned particularly bad. Strange as it may seem, this unique clockwork activity prompted me to make this drawing.

En regardant par ma fenêtre, je remarque des choses qui se répètent à heures fixes tout au long de la journée, comme sur une horloge. Je ne parle pas des levers et couchers de soleil, bien qu'ils marquent clairement le rythme de la journée. Je fais référence aux affaires comme les enfants du quartier qui vont à l'école à pied tôt le matin, à un retraité qui fait du vélo après son petit-déjeuner, au facteur qui distribue le courrier vers midi et aux gens qui promènent consciencieusement leur chien à des heures précises. Les routines d'horloge. Elles donnent une sorte de rythm à la journée. Par exemple, quand je lis les actualités sur mon iPad à 9 h, j'ai régulièrement remarqué deux hommes promenant leur chien devant chez moi. Cela s'est répété été comme hiver, avec peut-être une brève interruption lors des épisodes de grand mauvais temps. Aussi étrange que cela puisse paraître, cette activité qui se repete comme un horloge m'a incité à réaliser ce dessin.

As I was sketching this, a woman living in this street started waving her arms around to me and shouted “Am I in it?”
Later, her husband came out to see what I was sketching. It turned out that he was a retired art teacher and had marked my art O-Level!
He also lent me his cardy, as I was getting a bit chilly.
One passing local first thought I was recording the traffic as I was sat sketching this next to the main road.
I made these illustrations from a bouquet of flowers that we bought for Easter. I planned to keep it simple so I only concentrated on two sprigs of flowers for my sketch - one of dahlias and another of alstroemeras. I used a fountain pen to draw the flowers and to fill in the dark spaces. I thought that I was done once I had my pen and ink sketch. After a while, I started to wonder how these sketches would look in colour but at the same time I didn't want to loose my simple black-and-white sketches. So, I used a technique I've tried before: I scanned the drawings and painted them on my iPad using Procreate. Not too complicated. Interesting results.

J'ai réalisé ces illustrations à partir d'un bouquet de fleurs acheté pour Pâques. Je souhaitais quelque chose de simple et me suis donc concentrée sur deux brins de fleurs pour mon croquis : un dahlia et un alstroemère. J'ai utilisé un stylo-plume pour dessiner les fleurs et remplir les zones sombres. Je pensais avoir terminé mon croquis à l'encre. Plus tard, j'ai commencé à me demander à quoi ressembleraient ces croquis en couleur, mais en même temps je ne voulais pas perdre mes simples croquis en noir et blanc. J'ai donc utilisé une technique que j'avais déjà employée : j'ai numérisé les dessins et je les ai coloriés sur mon iPad avec Procreate. Rien de bien compliqué. Le résultat est intéressant.

This was a commissioned drawing for the Architektur Schaufenster. They wanted to show how spaces like under the Hirsch Bridge were used by people during corona. While I was drawing it, there weren't many people around. I asked the two lads if they would pose for me. My neighbours then turned up so I asked them too!

Vancouver's Dr Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden was created under the loving workmanship of 52 artisans, using the same techniques, materials and tools from the Ming Dynasty. Many of the artisans were of past generations and are no longer living.
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.

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!!
