The bicycle is a great sketch subject, especially when you have to sketch one without looking!! We save the day by then having a real one. Follow that with some lovely interior sketches. A lovely last week of Term.

Manly
Intro to Travel Sketching with Kirsten.
Saturday Intro wk 8: A very sad tutor saying farewell to a lovely set of students as they set off to to put their new skills to practice. But we finished on a high note- a visit to our local Manly Gallery that’s showcasing the original urban sketchers - Australian 19th century artists abroad using watercolor and inks to capture what they saw. As for us - we drew bicycles from memory a la Gianluca Gimini, and then from life, in the studio and then at Manly Wharf, with ciders and some happy reminiscing over the past great eight weeks.

UpComing Travel Sketch Workshops at Cass Art Islington London with Erin
We’ve had so much interest from the UK about when we’d do Workshops here. This year I added it to the agenda and have 3 full day Workshops at the amazing Cass Art Store. This is the flagship of its 13 stores throughout UK. 100 years supporting artists.
That's it for this week. Happy Sketching till next time. Always happy to hear what you’re up to.
