New Chairs

My favorite cafe has undergone renovation. They have a new menu (todays pick Nush Muesli),  new chairs in the courtyard and most importantly the coffee is good. The water is served in a twisted vodka bottle.

1.30am

Thank God the tennis is over. What a fantastic game, duel, contest whatever one wants to call it. The sustained level of energy over almost 6 hours between only two individuals, not a team. Exhausting to just watch but thoroughly entertaining.

Summer Evening

A drawing of Hugo, the armchair with remote control and my sewing machine on an old primary school desk that I found somewhere. Still experimenting with pens. There are too many to choose from. The ones I’ve used here are the Uniball Drawing pens that come in a packet with a variety of sizes (fine liners). They move smoothly across the surface of the paper in this sketchbook.

Chips and Water

Chips and water (and sauce of course) is in my mind not a very good mix. However it is coming to the end of school holidays and one will do whatever it takes to pacify a bored child (or in this case a kidult). The figure drawing is really bad, but that is what happens when  you are in a hurry and it is a hot 35 degree day.

New Ink

Yesterday I bought some ink to use for coloring. At $12.90 a bottle I only chose four, a yellow, a turquoise, a red and a magenta. I already had some sepia so I have toned the brightness down with that.
