Some quick family sketching, with Flinky making sure he’s involved
Sketchbook pages: quick pen portraits of people on buses, the underground, trains and airports, mostly in London. Trying to quickly/sneakily draw people’s faces, hairstyles and fancy scarves and hats makes the travelling seem a bit shorter!
I was home last week, did some sketching of my mum and my sis for evening tablet practice <3
Took my sketchbook to the National Gallery in London, where my friend & I amused ourselves a huge and probably inappropriate amount by guessing how all the portraits got on with each other. These two fine young men were hanging around in a corner looking dandy and noble and not catching each other’s eye but there was serious chemistry going on.
If you wind your way to the Horseshoe Inn, near London Bridge, on every third Tuesday of the month, you can slip into a back room to find a collection of people with the most beautiful instruments, playing Scandinavian folk music. Every now and again a tune ended, musicians would have a quick sip of their drink, and then one of them would take up their instrument, and slowly, quietly conjure up a a few notes – the others would listen, smile, and gradually all join in, making for a really magical night of listening! For more information about the times, location, and music of these lovely nights see the Scandi Session website here: http://www.londonscandisession.co.uk/sketch
