On Saturday, I held a Travel Sketching with Watercolour Pencil class in a room in my local Library. I have been fortunate to have some travel sketchbooks on display in the Library and met a few locals who attended the class.

We had blue skies and sunshine and went outside in the heat for our short walk to do some outside, on-location sketching. I always enjoy the class as the attendees are always so enthusiastic and curious.

On Sunday, I decided it was time to do another film of me sketching. I took my phone outside and found a place in the local park. It was a very humid day. They have a few tables, but I stood up and established my sketchkit and sketchbook at an empty (and clean) BBQ site for this short film. It is much easier than sketching and filming when sitting on the ground. I wanted to sketch an interesting tree. It is just a quick sketch, an impression of a large tree with a heavy canopy.

The FaberCastell Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils I used were:

• Pine Green
• Chrome Oxide Green
• Grass Green
• Dark Sepia
• Burnt Ochre

Below is the short video.

I then sat under another tree that was closer and focused on the trunk.

I am planning some more Travel Sketching with Watercolour pencils for the months of April, May and June. They will be on Saturday mornings 10.30am to 12.30pm.
