Sketches

Pencil & Watercolour in Moleskine

I just got a new scanner so I have been looking for things to test it with. I found this in my sketchbook from a couple of weeks ago. The building is the Shaw Festival Theatre.

Morning House

5.5″X8″ WC pencil, pen & wash on paper

Happy July fourth to my American friends!
This is the house just kitty-corner from my house. I used two kinds of pen, a brush pen with permanent ink, and a fountain pen with water soluble ink. I am jus… [...]

Solstice

5.5″X3.5″ Watercolour & ink in Moleskine

Not a very good photograph but I was too lazy to scan it (I have to take my laptop into the other room). This is really “Noon on the Common 158″ or something, but I thought I would take advantage of … [...]

Noon on the Common Again

11″X3.5″ Watercolour pencil in moleskine

Another view that gets somewhat overdone due to the location of a strategically placed bench.
I remember having a conversation with a friend, someone that I had thought was fairly enlightened, who co… [...]

Snowdrops

6″X4″ Watercolour on paper

Hammock

7″X5.5″ Watercolour on paper

I spent a lot of time on the porch in PR. This hammock was a lovely place to hang out in the afternoons.

Columbus Rock

4″X3″ Watercolour on paper

This is the very westernmost point of Puerto Rico, as seen from Pools beach. I have many wonderful pictures of this point at different times of day so it wil probably appear again. This one was just a quickie done on a pa… [...]

Against the Day

9″X6″ Mixed media

Not much of an offering but at least I tried.
I went for a short walk at lunchtime and sat for a few minutes to do this quick sketch. I wasn’t helped by the fact that I was drawing “contre jour”. It was also a bit chilly and I didn… [...]

Pony Mart

11″X16″ Watercolour on paper

Another of my St Catharines series. Locals will recognize this distinctive building.
They are trying to revitalize the downtown area, much like every other city in North America. It would be a shame to lose buildings like… [...]
