Walking

Graphite stick and sanguine oil pencil

One of the advantages of sketching your young walking companions as you walk is that you don't inevitably walk past them. And they do tend to repeat movements...

Predictable Use of Highlighter

These drawings were made on the move - walking, not cycling! - during a short family walk/cycle. They are mainly done (in my current A6 book) using liquid ink rollerball pens; the orange of my son's hi-vis vest was added at home with a highlighter.

The sketch opposite my cycling son is a fairly impressionistic version of the "tree-tunnel" footpath that we were following at one point.

Over the Hills to the Pub (and back)

This is the first sketch in my new pocket-sized sketchbook (approximately A5). It was done without pausing - we were on our way to the pub for lunch, and we didn't want to be late!

 I did get to pause briefly for this one as we waited for our bicycling children to, er, push their bikes up the steep bit...

And there was leisure a-plenty at the pub.

But we had to walk home, and the sun was setting, so I was still drawing on the hoof...

These three people were not the best subject for a walk-and-draw, but they looked interesting silhouetted against the sky.
