Yup, I haven't been creating as much as I should have recently - something to do with old chestnuts like being too busy with other things (true) and some lousy weather for being outdoors drawing (also true). I did a bit of oil painting a couple of days ago, but it was just practise and barely worth an airing. I have been doing a few mediocre indoors-based sketches - also not really worthy. Anyway, this morning I went out to Lower Town with good intentions and created this one, which I have scanned at hi-res on the computer, because I drew it on watercolour paper and should my possible colour wash addition go pear-shaped, I'll still have a bare-bones b/w copy of it! Ah, such confidence? In truth I don't use colour washes much at all, so I'm lacking in practise in that area too.

...I'm trying to get back to a more regular habit of creating some sort of art every day, as the last few weeks have been a bit slack, due to the aforementioned 'other things' (cycling, decorating and jobs outdoors in the fine weather). I'd also created a few sketches which I considered a bit indifferent, on the days when I did manage to do something - efforts not meeting expectation! Anyway, this one was a bit better, which I made last night at Lower Town. No apologies for similar themes - it's such a nice spot there, hard to resist and with good views around (almost) every corner. Onwards! Buzz Knapp-Fisher's converted lifeboat and Quay Road cottages.
