Oops – a little late to the party here.
I picked a familiar spot with a street light to be a little daring again. Charcoal was great for capturing the deep blacks and gradations of light. Not much detail in this one though... more block-like.
Fun!

Feeling unwell today and not at all creative so have posted this little pencil sketch from my Moleskine done few days ago.
This is a test sketch using a new ink, Noodler's Benenke Black. It is a water soluble ink that makes a rich gray when diluted with water. I painted directly with a round brush dipped in water. Earlier in the day I spread some of the ink on a 3x5 card and let it dry to use as a palette. I could then pull the ink off the card with a wet brush and apply it to the sketch. I also filled a fountain pen with the ink and used it to draw the darkest trees on the right and blended with the wet brush. I did the same with a few trees on the horizon line. I really like the slightly warm gray produced by this ink.
Canson Mix Media paper, Sheaffer Balance Black and Pearl Lifetime pen with 14K gold nib ca. 1929-30 filled with Noodler's Benenke Black ink, and Princeton #8 round brush. Image is 7x10 inches (17.8x25.4 cm).

I took this photo of a Sketch my Boss did. Its of a scheme coming up. The photo has been used on social media platforms to promote the practise and the reMarkable Tablet.
I consulted my 1966 edition of Claudius Coulin's publication Zeichenlehre für Architekten, Bauzeichner und Designer to figure out the shadows of the lid of the tagine (a cone).
But, looking at the book and the construction of the shadow I opted for the easy way out - make a photo! :)
Hero Arts sketch challenge. I need some cards in a hurry, so although I am not a big sketch user, it was a handy time to have ideas ready to go.

Sketching plants at Lions Nature Education Centre, Sai Kung
Three edible plants.
I started with a leaf of a papaya tree. I really liked the structure of it. I went on to look for other plants and I was pleased to see the red Rosselle!
Managed to complete this sketch during wet weather on holiday but now I have another holiday sketch to put together, along with September. It's all go, but at least it has kept me painting this year instead of saying I don't have time! Interesting how uncolourful this one is, I had not noticed until I photographed it. It needs some red.
Sketch of the evening: Construction is underway next to the place where I work. This time a view from far, from a field.
Croquis du soir : construction en cours juste à côté du lieu où je travaille. Cette fois-ci vue depuis le champ en friche.

I went hiking and sketching today in Sai Kung Country Park to support "Save Our Country Park" Alliance. The aim of the alliance is to protect every inch of our precious nature reserve within the many country parks in Hong Kong.
The pro-China Hong Kong government (a government which is not elected by the people of Hong Kong but appointed by Beijing, China) is proposing to develop our parks into new towns as it is estimated the population will continue to rise in our 7 million people city-state despite the fact that birth rate has always been low. Since the handover from Britain to China in 1997, Hong Kong has gained almost 1 million of population due to the unregulated inflow of immigrants from China. The pro-China Hong Kong government simply does not exercise its right to screen people from China, a right that is enshrined in Hong Kong's constitution, the Basic Law.
Immigrants from China must be screened and our precious country parks must not be touched!

Trying something new ...
Sketching from a photo, choosing the subject, doing a quick line drawing and leaving out what is not important to my sketch.
Maybe, or hopefully, seeing and sketching from photos for a while may help me seeing better on site.

I easily could have done something like this on site had I walked around for a while and think before doing instead of choosing a difficult to draw building and not knowing where to start.
From sketching to etching. I posted the original sketch a few weeks ago and then the world changed, so in response to pandemic guidelines I am working in studio more. In this case have scanned the original sketch cropped, reversed, and resized the image to fit a 3"x5" format. From there I used a dry point to scratch the image into a plexiglass plate. Top is the reverse image gray scale scan. Middle is the 1st test print that wasn't wiped enough. Bottom is the second test print that I removed to much ink in the wiping process. Much is to be learned from mistakes and failures. I am on a never ending quest.
