Due to technical difficulties, I was not able to access my blog until now. This is a last minute post with sketch done this evening at the Royal Historical Society of Victoria book launch.

I had left my sketchbook at home on the scanner and attended an event with my watercolour pencils and ink pen only. This was no excuse not to sketch! I borrowed some sheets of photocopy paper from the front desk.

I used my ink pen to draw across the A4 page, and onto a second page. I decided not to add watercolour pencil, but leave it in pen.

If I had forgotten my sketchkit, I would have borrowed a blue pen.

The book is Melbourne Ghost Signs by Sean Reynolds, published by Scribe. Amazing photographic documentation of stories of ghostly ads, aged signs and iconic architecture of Melbourne. Read more and purchase it here .

It looks so interesting and I can”t wait to dive deeper into my copy and discover Melbourne.
