A long weekend in Sydney. A great opportunity to do some example sketches for Travel Sketching with Watercolour pencil class next Saturday !

The sketches tell a story. I have a bit more writing to do on the page, but I wanted to share these now.

On the Skybus to the Airport

At the Airport

I HAD to sketch the Sydney Opera House. It was very hot and sunny and there is not much shade around. I found some next to a big group of tourists waiting for their bus.

I never tire of this. So many angles to sketch from !

I met Sydney Urban Sketchers Hyde Park. Two hours of chatting and sketching (mainly chatting)

A part of the big fountain. Sketched very quickly as it was in full sun on a hot day.

Magpies – NSW are different from Vic ! white back v black back

Ibis – These bin chickens have beautiful feathers

Lunch

early morning at the airport

I have not included the sketches from the events I flew to Sydney to attend: a Georgette Heyer event and Jane Austen reading from “Lady Susan”.
