| Trent at Hoveringham - Cows Paddling July Challenge Sketch 18 19 July 2014 Watercolour on Paper 18cm x 12cm (7" x 5") |
This week's post is a bit later than usual because Elaine and I met with Lori and Peter while they were in London. We went to see the Matisse and Malevich exhibitions at Tate Modern .
The rules for the sketching challenge remain the same – sketch from life for exactly 30 minutes each day.

I missed a couple of days during the week because of travelling and working too hard, but I caught up by drawing three sketches on Saturday. The travelling also gave me the opportunity to draw the view from my hotel balcony in Madrid.

The week was bookended with two sketches of the Trent. The watercolour sketch at the top of the post was a memorable event. The weather was fine when I started, but the rain began almost immediately and became more and more intense until I finally ran for cover.

Unintentionally, I've selected a number of round objects to sketch this week, which brings the challenge of drawing circles in perspective.

This week’s drawing of Elaine is a portrait. If I keep practicing, one day I hope to draw a picture that looks like her.
