First, an apology as the autoposting to this blog hasn't worked for the last few posts. You can check out the missing ones here:

I love going to see choirs sing at Christmas, so last night I went back
to Tiptree to see a friend sing in the choir she belongs to
. The
setting was St Lukes church, which I have only drawn from the outside,
so made sure I had coloured pencils alongside my sketchbook.
My
first sketch was of some of the female choristers chatting before the
concert. They were very animated and seemed quite excited which I hope I
captured in the sketch. What do you think?
Listening to the lovely singing, I sketched the top drawing showing a section of the choir and the church.
I
forgot to take the proof of on-location sketching shot until the choir
was about to start singing in the second half of the concert, but
hopefully gives a little idea of my view.
Other news: I was very flattered when
Simone Ridyard
asked me to contribute to her architectural sketching book,
Archisketcher. Yesterday, I received my copy and the whole book is
fabulous! I would thoroughly recommend buying it for your shelves
because of the fabulous content, not because of my contribution :)
Finally, due to logistics the Essex&Suffolk Sketchers have renamed themselves Colchester Sketchers.
