I’ve been holding off on sketching these views in order that I’d have one thing to maneuver onto after I’m feeling a necessity for change. And so I’m having fun with some new compositional alternatives.

I’m at present testing to see what affect the wax crayons mark has on the markers and whether or not this fashion that I’m at present working is lessening the lifetime of my GoldFaber Aqua markers.

I’m loving the textures, layers and hues of those sketches even supposing I’m not likely devoting a variety of psychological power to them (whereas I’m sketching my head is generally filled with all of the issues I’ve to do for my upcoming  Teacups course). I’m not getting all the way down to Lane Cove Nationwide Park today – and so I’ve solely had one go to up to now month.
