I took my children to Portsmouth today, and we visited the Historic Dockyards. There was a great deal to see, learn, and sketch there - I am delighted that our ticket is valid for a whole year!
All sketches are ~A6 and are done in ink, usng either the Rotring ArtPen (black ink) or the Japanese calligraphy pen (indigo ink).
I did a lot of speed sketching, especially on the Harbour tour (by catamaran), which had the advantage, on this chilly day, of being undercover and warm...
The following is a selection from my sketchbook.
