Sketching Week 8. Fast People. |

The beach and the sea was a common theme for all our classes this week.

The Week 3 people were working with limited colour on their sailing ship, to get those lights, mids and darks.

At the wharf end of Manly, the mission was to sketch foreground middle and far distance across the water. Sketches were completed at the Manly Wharf Hotel with something to eat and drink to help turn our sketches into something magic! A very impressive week for all in the group.

Week 8 classes had huge fun doing 10 sec, 30 sec and 60 sec sketches of each other. Some of the poses were very daring! Colour was then applied very quickly to the ones you liked best

Sketching at Manly Beach seems like a dream for many. But no for us it’s work! Happy work. Observing the figures on the beach and all that they get up to. Get them down fast and apply colour.

Miami Cuba has been our cafe destination all week. Lovely eclectic decor, very helpful staff and great value Cuban style food in innovative combos. We’re all very confident sketchers by now. We’re even having fun.
