I kicked off with a study of the narrow streets that give St Paul such character.
The guitarist in the photo above showed up as I was drawing & I couldn't resist switching to another page to quickly capture him. Whenever kids came by with their parents he would put on a red clown nose & dazzle them with his kazoo skills!
Rodin's 'Thinker' contemplates the great view from the town walls, while Carlos draws on.
Here is Carlos sitting dangerously close to a fast game of pétanques.
Some gestures & poses of the old boys playing pétanques.
A local lady stopped as she saw me painting the water-colour above & asked me if I'd make one of the facade of her shop. She led me by the arm around the corner to show me her antiques shop & I was happy to accept the commission. I made a quick pencil rough for her approval then over the next couple nights worked up the painting below from photographs.
Our first SketchCrawl was a great day out in surroundings that beg to be drawn. All the drawings from the group can be viewed on the SketchCrawl forum.
