My day so far

We biked out to the beach through the park, had breakfast. I put up the rest of the sketches from yesterday’s drawing group. Then I did a few fast still life sketches (next post?)

I am going to a live drawing group tomorrow. I’ve never done that before and spent a bit of time warming up today. Trying pens, chalk etc. And just looking at people in the café & sketching live. I’m posting them.
