After weeks of rainy days we finally get some clear blue sky. So after wrapping up under several layers of clothes hats and gloves we ventured out to do some sketching. But we could not decide where to go.
Chaddesley Corbett is a lovely little village that’s only a few miles from home so we head in that general direction. As soon as you drive into the village you are confronted with the wonderful church and I knew this was going to be my sketch for today. Lore went off and sketched a couple of the grave stones while I perched myself near the entrance to the church yard.
As soon as I started drawing, however, I could see there was going to be a problem. The temperature was only 4 degrees and the cold was making my hand shake. Oh no wobbly lines! But after a few minutes I soon relaxed into the shaky lines and started enjoying the process.
This sketch took around an hour at which point my leg had gone to sleep due to the cold and from being so still.
I added colour once I was back home in the warm and fuelled up with coffee.
If you like cartooning, sketching or you keep an Art Journal why not leave a comment and get in touch.
I would love to hear from you either through this site or on my CartoonJuice Facebook or Twitter page.
Here are another couple of pages from my mini Art Journal as way of a catch up, hope you enjoy.
