School's Out

Watercolor & ink sketchbook doodle - architecture, landscape or something

vamos a la playa

Cheating because I put this one on my Facebook page too so I'm a real two-timer. Based on a diary entry I found from when I was backpacking around in Spain... I remember several days of being heinously ill and tent-bound atop a mountain, and somehow managing to make it down by bus and acquiring antibiotics with my terrible franglo-spanglish. But my diary tells a very different story! ¡¡¡Beach party!!!

Emma's Painting from early April

View on way home from Bedminster Down school, looking through the rain from my car window.

Big apology Emma. My grandfather passed away on April 6th and I completely forgot my promise to you to post this while you were in France. It's such a lovely, calming scene. 

This is not a nature sketch, for a change. Instead it is a sketch for my first paid illustration commission, for someone who wants 2 illustrations to go with a children's story text that they're planning on pitching to a publisher. But the nice thing is that the model for the man looking up from bottom left is our very own Philip, Fine Artist of Falmouth, Pirate of Penzance, who modelled for me in my mum's French garden during this year's holiday (we missed u Angela!). Ps. any comments on how I could improve it, before I go ahead and paint the real thing - or do u think it'll do?!
