| Capturing shadows A4 sketchbook © Sue Pownall 2012 |
In case the Mayan prophercy was true, I arranged SketchMuscat 4 for
yesterday morning. What better way to spend the last day on earth than
sketching if you can't be with your family? A small group of us sketched
at Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Muscat. The weather is perfect now to
sketch outside and we all enjoyed wandering around the beautiful
complex.

| Changing bulbs in the mesjid. A4 sketchbook |
I'd planned to draw the gardens and
complex buildings to enjoy the weather to its fullest. However, my first
potential subject seemed tooooo huge for a first sketch, so I headed
into the main mesjid (mosque). Inside men where on a huge crane changing
lightbulbs and I knew I had to record this unusual event. Then I went
back outside and did my second sketch of the morning, which was the
watercolour of the shadows. I hadn't planned a tonal work, but that's
what happened.

DeleteThat is a really cool sketch of the changing bulbs. I am blown away by the main mesjid photo. What a beautiful place. I wouldn't want to draw that either!
