Time away from home, what a great opportunity to sketch, draw and
paint new places and things. We have been down to Brighton in Sussex
this year and, yes you guessed it, I sketched ...
....in
fact I was sitting at a bench along the seafront. It was a bit windy
but not too cold...the cup of coffee I had just bought probably helped
keep me warm anyway, but also meant I could use the cafe's seating in
order to sketch this.

I can almost feel the salt water in the air through your sketch. Nice job on the sand, water, and the amusement pier!
ReplyDeletebeautiful!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat sketch of the pier, they are not the easiest things to draw. One of my favourite regular occupations is walking down the pier in Southport with Dev, heels clip-clopping on the wooden planks. With the deserted sand and the grey sea it looks a very chilly day, and you did well to sit long enough to sketch it. Altogether a lovely sketch.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joan, I enjoyed this sketch (and the coffee) lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jez, there is something about piers isn't there :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely to think of you sitting here drinking coffee and making this beautiful sketch of this (slightly wistful) place!
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret :-)
DeleteWill you take us to all these charming places when we come to visit, Ann? Love the lightness of this drawing. I can smell the sea air.
ReplyDeleteWe will take you to places Lynn, although Brighton is a long ways off from us, there are plenty of places in our neck of the woods :-)
