Everyday Sketching

The OneWeek100People challenge is on again next week (if you missed it, the details are here) and I’m really looking forward to focusing on people sketching again.

Everyday Sketching

After years of anticipation, the new Village Green is open in my local area of Lindfield. This is great as I now have a new space to sketch! It’s not the most interesting space (ie. I wasn’t buzzing with inspiration when I first saw it) but the most exciting aspect of it is that there...
