Before visiting the atelier, the children stopped at the bamboo tunnel and were invited to explore weaving with wool and raffia. It was quite tricky for some of the children and it took a little longer to get the hang of it, but soon some of them were weaving webs (and getting tangled!)

When we arrived in the atelier, we cooled down and picked up the feathers again to explore ink drawing. Natsu was particularly immersed in his drawing again and began to represent his outdoor experience, which he called the "spider web."

I have work for sale on Etsy. Almost all sketches on Flickr are available as prints: www.etsy.com/de/shop/SteveFaradaySketches

This was tricky to draw. The windows of the multistorey were horizontal but the building was sloping. There actually was a plane towing a banner as I drew this.

Local kids pointed in my German-Polish phrasebook what this building was.

I’ve run out of new sketches so here’s one from the last century.

Thanks to all the nice people I met at Lametta this weekend.

While going for bike rides, I usually make frequent stops to drink some water and admire the scenery. Yes, the main purpose of my rides is to get some exercise but I enjoy going to places that I find attractive to do some sketching. The above sketch was done along the promenade that follows the Ottawa River in Gatineau Point. I've made several sketches here and don't get bored with the scenery. This sketch is one of the dozen marinas that you can find along the shoreline. They've had a hard time this year due to the flooding but there appeared to be a good number of boats at the moorings. Across the river you can see the Ottawa New Edinburgh Club boathouse which - like my previous sketch of the Ottawa Rowing Club boathouse - is one of the older structures on the shoreline.

En faisant des promenades à vélo, je fais des arrêts fréquents pour boire de l'eau et admirer le paysage. Oui, l'objectif principal de mes randonnées c'est de faire de l'exercice, mais j'aime bien aller à des endroits que je trouve attrayants pour faire des croquis. Le croquis ci-dessus a été réalisé le long de la promenade longeant la rivière des Outaouais à la Pointe Gatineau. J'ai fait plusieurs croquis ici et le paysage m'ennuie jamais. Cette esquisse est l’une des douzaines de marinas que vous pouvez trouver le long du littoral. Cette année, ils ont connu des moments difficiles en raison des inondations, mais il semble y avoir un bon nombre de bateaux aux amarres. De l'autre côté de la rivière, vous pouvez voir le hangar à bateaux du club New Edinburgh d'Ottawa, qui - comme mon précédent dessin du hangar à bateaux du club d'Aviron d'Ottawa - est l'une des structures les plus anciennes du littoral.

1998 Life Among The Ruins - Pencil, Ink and colored pen. Based on a photo in a National Geographic magazine of ancient ruins where life was showing again. I lost the information as to where the ruins are located.

The drawing was created for an event at a local artist showcase downtown called "Fill the Frame."

INKTOBER DAY 16: GRUNGY

I only had one option to draw.

part of the great ocean walk - Princetown and the Gellibrand River estuary - does not quite make the Southern Ocean except in flood. This was sketched on the way bak to Princetown,the next sketch was on the way out same spot but a bit lower down the track.

Ink and gel pen markers on matte board.

I couldn’t get any closer as armed police would come. This was next to the constitutional court.

Drawn with Karlsruhe Urban Sketchers.

Drawn to the sound of waves on the pebbles.

Earnscliffe is an historic site overlooking the Ottawa River on a cliff next to the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge in Ottawa. ('Earn' is an old English word for eagle.) It was built in 1855 by a lumber baron, Thomas McKay, and later purchased by Canada's first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, in 1883. In 1930, the mansion was purchased as the official residence of the British High Commissioner and still is. Several years ago, I had the opportunity to visit it during the Open Doors Ottawa Festival and was impressed by the ornate gardens around the mansion and its interior. While on a bike ride recently, I began this sketch of Earnscliffe from across the river.

Earnscliffe est un site historique surplombant la rivière des Outaouais sur une falaise à côté du pont Macdonald-Cartier à Ottawa. («Earn» est un vieux mot anglais pour aigle.) Il a été construit en 1855 par un baron du bois d'oeuvre, Thomas McKay, et plus tard acheté par le premier premier ministre du Canada, Sir John A. Macdonald, en 1883. En 1930, le manoir fut acheté comme résidence officielle du haut-commissaire britannique et l'est toujours. Il y a plusieurs années, j'ai eu l'occasion de le visiter lors de la festival Portes ouvertes Ottawa et j'ai été impressionné par les jardins fleuris autour du manoir et de son intérieur. Lors d'une balade à vélo récemment, j'ai commencé cette esquisse d'Earnscliffe de l'autre côté de la rivière.

I didn’t intend to sketch and even left my stool at home. I passed this building in perfect light and had to sketch it. There was even a base for a temporary sign for me to sit on at exactly the right spot. A fellow Karlsruhe Urban Sketcher came over for a chat.
