The
Essex Book Festival is on throughout March in various
locations across the county. Due to other commitments, so far I have
only attended a lecture at the University of Essex last Monday. It was
called "
From Print to Pixels: The Many Futures of Reading Kodachrome Travels: How colour changed the way we see the world." I
went as I am interested in both colour and film, but have to confess I
didn't get the connection to books. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the
lecture given by Professor Jeffery Geiger and realise I miss learning.
Time to return to study?

Top image: In the sketch, I wanted to capture Prof.
Geiger, but ended up getting so engrossed in what he was saying the page
got covered in lecture notes. I did get the colour added at the same
time. I'd forgotten, but when I studied at Essex my lecture notes often
looked like this, as I strove to capture keywords and points.
Below: I
started on the right-hand page where the three people were stood on the
stage chatting prior to the lecture. It seems as if they were friends
of the professor and sat behind me when it started. Top left is the
woman who introduced the lecture. Then the final sketch on the
bottom-left was made during the Q&A session and I loved her twisted
body image.
Where have you sketched this week?
