croquis bic et aquarelle d'après photo perso sur papier machine ordinaire/ bic and wash sketch after a personal photo
I have posted these desperate sketches separately years ago when I was doing the matriculation course as a 'mature age' student in 2006. Someone suggested to make it into a triptych. Alas, at that time I was incapable of making triptychs in photoshop and had other pressing matters on my mind - such as trying to find an essay.
Now, since I am learning to sketch and am managing to make triptychs in PS, I decided to resurrect the images and put them as a triptych into my new Sketching album :)
I think I shall never forget this evening.
The deadline was tomorrow. The relief to eventually find the essay was enormous! :) Fortunately, we have different bins for recyclable materials and there was mainly paper stuff in this bin.
And yes, the essay was in the bin.
And the bin collection was the following day, the day the essay was due.
Anybody who has been in that situation knows the sinking feeling, the despair, the physical pain in the head and in the stomach, especially when you know that this particular essay was the very best essay you have ever written! :)

This last mission: our story in one sketch.

How many times did she sing that song, floating in from the other room, hoping I would notice but not say anything? Ah chere if I could, I would paint the whole world blue for you. Not so all could join us but as to provide you with a proper stage to sing on.

The sketching setting was so good we both forgot about the crowd and noises. SUSHI GALA restaurant owner even brought out a beer. The visitors were all very supportive and Rachel cranked out an excellent sketch. To pay back our respect, we decided to have lunch right here. Ramen, sashimi and curry ... but no more beer. I was getting tipsy!
