Bristol Sketchers: First of the Month

This was supposed to be drawing Circomedia, but it got rained off.  Instead we went to The Canteen, Stokes Croft.

We had people, decor and the outdoors as subject matter.


I liked the wonky, cable-stuffed paper lantern.



The bar is filled with strong geometric lines.


Customers were far more fidgety than I expected.  I lost track of how many times this guy, who was watching italian footie on a laptop, changed his leg and arm positions...


My last stab at sketching was of this group of folk discussing a business venture.  I reduced the woman's frock to the repeat motif of the fabric and the red occasional trim.  More people joined them after a short while and I lost the composition - I also think the guy in the glasses caught me sketching and moved out of sight on purpose :P

Met some new folks, with terrific imagination and energy - such a buzz to be with them :)  I had a lot of fun!

Later, on my return journey from my parents (for Mother's Day), the sunshine led me to The Downs and I took a shot at a sketch of the Avon Gorge.


I tried to use as little detail as possible.
