The railway viaduct at Chappel has been on my "to-sketch" list for many
years, so on Friday I arranged for the Essex & Suffolk Sketchers to
meet at the Swan pub. With quickly failing light and the temperature
dropping, I sat on a bench in the Swan's car park and quickly tried to
paint it. It was difficult to tell the colours I was applying as the
light changed and dropped. Above is as far as my first sketch got.
Heading
into the pub to warm up, I think the guys having bar snacks got drawn
by everyone. As usual, I spent more time chatting than drawing, so these
two were all I did. Plus, Degas got bored and decided when it was time
to go home.
I was sketching in an A4 Monologue sketchbook with Winsor & Newton watercolours & Inktense pencils.
