a scan of my sketch from earlier in the week – the view of cockatoo island from Greenwich point. It is really strange to be to paint an architectural scene without any lines or even attempt to define the edges…. this was a lot of fun but as I said at the time, wasn’t quite sure what I was doing!

Revisiting your archives.
You have tons of super cool sketches, and this one is definitely one of my favorites!
Thank you, Liz!
Thanks Lois! I love getting comments on old blogposts.
This sketch was done during a very hard period of my life and at the time I didn’t really know how to control my brush without the security of my ink lines. But agree that it turned out well and so was pretty special. A little watercolour joy on a hard day.
You never know what the results will be! You just have to go for it.
