Minded to produce another sketch for the Gardens in Art project I'm doing on Making A Mark this month, I did a quick sketch of a view of part of the garden at Great Comp in Kent which we visited yesterday. This is late afternoon on a very sunny warm day (which we've had far too few of
As previously indicated here is the first of previous posts relating to travels with my sketchbook. This is a copy of the text and images originally posted to Making a Mark last July. I'm going to develop an index to all the London-oriented blog posts which will then be posted as a summary in the side column._________________________Yesterday was the 10th International Sketchcrawl. I participated as part of a small London Group, most of whom were linked to the Association of Illustrators. These are my sketches (minus the people I sketched on the tube at the beginning and end of the day!I travelled from to Southwark Cathedral (our agreed meeting place) via the District Line, Monument Tube and London Bridge - so all of this is about 30 minutes from my home in London.I produced 5 sketches in total, 3 large (double page spread in my black hardback Daler Rowney sketchbook) and two small (double page spread in the Moleskine). I used a pen with sepia ink, pencil and coloured pencils. If yo
Saturday 18th March 2007 was the day of the 13th International Sketchcrawl and did not go as originally planned, so my sketchcrawl ended up being very local - down alongside the Thames and the Pool of London between Tower Bridge and Wapping/Rotherhithe. I started just east of Wapping Station and walked down Wapping High Street towards Pier Head with diversions to the Thameside Path.

Saturday did not go as originally planned, so my sketchcrawl ended up being local - down alongside the Thames just east of Tower Bridge. I started just east of Wapping Station and walked down Wapping High Street towards Pier Head with diversions to the Thameside Path.A brief description of each sketch follows - with links to a more detailed and individual post about each of these historic sites in my Travels with a Sketchbook blog.

Today was the International Sketchcrawl #13, and although I didn't get nearly as much sketching in as I'd hoped, I did finish up a two-page grid in my sketchbook that I'd started a couple of weeks ago. This is 8x10", across a two page spread. Thes were done in my father-in-law's apartment overlooking the Hudson River, in another relative's home, waiting for my daughter outside the gym, a compositional sketch for a painting, the office building for the Rockefeller State Park Preserve, waiting again in a waiting room, and a couple of things in my studio.
Tomorrow is the official International Sketchcrawl #13. That means that artists around the globe will be packing up their sketchbooks, pens, pencils, brushes and paints, and heading out to do as many sketches of their day as they possibly can. Whether you're an "artist" or not, anybody can participate by just doodling your surroundings as the day goes by. I hope to have plenty of drawings to show by the time I post here tomorrow night.Today we're having a blizzard here in the Hudson Valley, with upward of a foot of snow possible! Schools are cancelled, so I've been having a family day and working on the new blog, which is almost ready to unveil.
