Everyday SketchingWatercolour

Socialising a lot in the last 2 days! Yesterday I meet up with Kelvin from Singapore (one of the official photographers at the symposium last year) and we had a lovely morning tea at the Tea Cosy talking about photography vs art and hobby vs job. The opening sketch is a true example of reflex...
