Yesterday, CO3 Gallery in Colchester arranged a Big Draw event, which I
attended. We were based near a sponsor, Tindalls Art Store in Trinity
Street, but spread out through the town. I wanted to draw St Botolph's
Priory as I hadn't drawn it since I was at college in the town. Once
again, my colours have come out brighter than usual due to the sunlight,
and yes this is England.
After heading back to base, I joined
Colchester artist Colin David McAllister on a doorstep with a great view
of an old Tudor building, which is now Tyndalls' café. The waitress was great and kindly
served tea where we were rather than at a table. Afterwards, I went
into the rose garden, initially to paint roses, but instead captured the
gable-end.

All too soon it was time for those left to gather
for a group photo and to share their sketches. I'm not too sure why
there are Spanish flags behind us - perhaps because we'd stolen their
sunshine for the day.

There was not any cider in my sketch kit this week. I
used an A4 Monologue sketchbook with Staedtlar pigmentliners and
Winsor & Newton watercolours. It was a lovely day sketching with
new people and I look forward to sketching with them again.
