<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: left;">One of my new themes for this year is gardens and allotments ranging from the more beautifully manicured to the wilder and neglected . I live in a row of old Terraced houses which have a row of back gardens separated by a path that leads to our back gates. Behind all the gardens is an allotment that some of my neighbours have had for over 30 years. There is major new housing development taking place in the area and the allotments are still vulnerable even after a fight to keep them by local people. As its been very cold I have started to make experimental explorations with a range of media of the view of my neighbours garden from my back window. These are some of the outcomes from the past few weeks . I started of tight and then loosed up as time went on.I plan to keep going even venturing into paint,collage and printmaking. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I had a great time sketching at the Welcome
collection museum last Saturday and catching up with Urban Sketching friends I
hadn’t seen for a while. It was my first time to experience this fantastic
collection of medical curios on display and in the Ayurvedic Man: Encounters
with Indian Medicine exhibition. I spent
the morning sketching and appreciating the aesthetics of a wide range of
medical instruments like obstetrical forceps and amputation saws.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Urban sketchers met at Mazzano's cafe and Bar at the Forum in Norwich yesterday. Some people braved the bitter wind to sketch outside. I decided to keep warm and capture life in the cafe which is used as a meeting place for business people and groups, people seeking warmth from shopping or a place of thought. I used a panoramic format which has worked well to capture the atmosphere, I think this is something I will continue over the year documenting stories from different cafes I visit throughout the year. I would like to incorporate text in the form of overheard conversations or my own narratives that I pick up from the characters I depict.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">On the 18th december Eaton park were holding a carol singing concert in the bandstand along with a Christmas market at the Bicycle Shop Cafe who now have a cafe at the park as well as on St Benedict Street. It was a great evening made me feel very festive drinking mulled wine. Lots of chatting about Norwich and selling which was good.With the success of the two markets I hope to do more markets in 2018 as well as hopefully open an online shop.</span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On the 28th November I had a stall at my first Norwich Makers Market Held at St Thomas's Church Norwich. Here are some of the items I was selling. They all tell a story of Norwich and depict well known iconic landmarks as well as hidden and lesser known parts. My Mini Book cards and calendars also capture life in Norwich from local green party demonstrations to well known stall holders on the market. I had a great time at the fair and did really well for my first go with lots of positive comments. What I enjoyed the most was chatting to local Norwich folk about memories and the places that they were especially fond of which has given me lots of ideas for places to sketch next year. I think I will continue with the series of Mini book cards in 2018.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Really into my detailed pen work after my trip to Venice. Spent the whole afternoon sketching this very English Georgian house designed by Sir Thomas Ivory in 1754. It is grade I listed. Inside it is very luxurious and serves a delicious hot chocolate and cream tea. It was a hot afternoon for October so nice to bask in the sun whilst sketching. Never actually realised that the word Norwich is toparied in the front of the wrought iron railings.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Catching up on Urban sketching events. Norwich Urban Sketchers Met at Upper St Giles Norwich on Sunday 17th September. Wow! did the heavens open that day with torential rain. I started sketching this wonderful shop front when big raindrops hit my sketch. I let the rain bleed the ink to capture the atmosphere of the day.</span></div>

I do still however have a fascination for photographing walls and windows which I collect on my travels. Venice was a minefield of richly textured and coloured walls revealing layers of time. The colour of the walls and doors of Burano Island of coloured houses were beautiful. </span><br />

Cannaregio is part of the Jewish ghetto area my favourite place in Venice. Here is a video of my sketch.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was only in Venice for three days so only had a short time to capture a feel of this unique magical world of canals and hidden streets a world heritage site which is under threat of tourism. Even in October it was really busy along the main tourist spots like Rialto Bridge and St. Marks Square. We decided to explore the hidden streets and alleys of venice instead. I did get the chance to stop for a quick sketch now and then. I wish I had longer to capture the energy and chaos of canal life, and the wonderful characters . Its amazing when you find time to sit and watch life it's so full of beautiful moments that flash past you. Full of stories but not enough time.</span></div>

The exhibition <span class="notranslate" style="color: #333333; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> aims to enhance and promote the culture of travel and the art of documenting its experience through drawing and writing.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="letter-spacing: 1px;"> I was </span></span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="letter-spacing: 1px;">exhibiting a selection of my Japan sketches made in 2007 and under the theme of "The Dressed World" sketches of people made on train trips.It was a wonderful experience to meet so many sketchers from around the world who share the same passion. We were all given a lovely catalogue of the event and we spent couple of evenings feasting and celebrating.</span></span></span></div>

After all the rain we have had recently we were lucky to have the perfect sunny afternoon. The garden has many different levels surrounded by wonderful flora and fauna, a rustic bridge, a gothic fountain and wonderful decorative medieval stone walls. It was as if you were in a different world, dreams of foregone summers. There were people picnicking, a choir singing, children playing, people hidden amongst the stonewalls, bridges and foliage, all having a peaceful and relaxed time. I got carried away with all the activity and setting. I tried to capture a sense of place maybe I got too excited with my pens!!<br />

The weather was pretty wet most of the time so I didn't get much chance to sketch apart from a couple of brighter evenings. A rusty old motorbike caught my eye parked against a wall by a cottage. Whilst I was sketching a lady came to put her bins out and saw me sketching. She said the bike was her husbands and she wanted to buy my sketch for his birthday which again was a lovely surprise. On the opposite side of the road is a wonderful wild garden in front of a large front door which I couldn't resist sketching.<br />

I was selling prints, postcards and greeting cards mainly of Norwich but also some of London. As well as exhibiting my work I ran expressive drawing demonstrations with drop in workshops on urban sketching, There were lots of activities, people and architecture to sketch and a great trio of singers called the "Nightingales". Sketching whilst listening to music was a relaxing combination. The Urban Sketchers Norwich met at the fair to document the event. A great atmosphere.<br />

I have drawn it a few times. It is very close to where I live so an ideal location to experiment with a large scale format. I took my A2 sketchbook, inks and water brushes. Whilst I was sketching a couple from Sheffield were visiting a local brewery under the bridge and came to chat . They ended up buying a couple of my sketches which was a nice surprise. The sketches were still a bit wet!<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Catching up on News! I have been sketching on a larger scale and experimenting with bleeding marks created by inks lately. These sketches were done at Norwich Urban sketchers meet up on Sunday the 18th June. It was a scorching hot day and we met at Eton Park in Norwich which is a magnificent historic park with a great pavilion bandstand and lots of activities. I focused on the Boat pond which is one of the finest in Europe. The bleeding ink create depth in the pond. Great place to sketch must go back.</div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I experimented with various dip pens including my bamboo ones that I haven't used in a long time. It was much easier working in the studio with this technique. I Did try using dip Pens on location when I went to the Barcelona Urban Sketching Symposium but I made a huge mess and gave up. I really enjoyed using the ink in this project and will try to work out a way of taking them out again without too much mess. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I made all the drawing separately and then scanned them in and composed them together using layer masks on photoshop. I was aiming to get the lighting to be quite dramatic <span style="background-color: white;">to illustrate how difficult it is for Andrew as he tries to work under very poor lighting conditions often with only torchlight. I must say drawing babies was quite a challenge!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Every time I take my dog for a swim along the banks of the River Yare in Trowse which is a small village on the edge of Norwich, this scene captures my eye. I have been meaning to sketch it for sometime now and if left too long the pylons will be gone. <span style="background-color: #fafafa; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">4.5km of overhead power lines </span></span><span style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and </span><span style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">fifteen pylons are</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fafafa; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> to be removed from the Norwich skyline by Autumn. These pylons have been here for decades. The geometric patterns of the pylon structures contrast well with the organic landscape and become part of it. I found great spot to set up under shady tree. It was quite a blustery day which added to the atmosphere.</span></span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My neighbour kindly gave me one of her first Garlic bulbs freshly dug from the ground of her allotment. The beauty of the shape, form and fresh aroma inspired me to draw it using my ink and bamboo dip pens.</span></span></div>

The sunshine was intermittent but lovely when out. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I decided to sketch the castle from outside the front gates. I had lots of fun playing with my water spray bottle for the first time. I used it to wet the paper first and apply inktense pencils which made them flow smoothly across the paper. Spraying my sketch after using a black non waterproof marker pen allowed the lines to bleed and create a more painterly effect. We finished the afternoon with a lovely blueberry scone and tea in the castle cafe. Really enjoyable day catching up and meeting new sketchers. </span><br />

Had a lovely afternoon sketching at Cafe Britannia which has fantastic views of Norwich. It is located around Mousehold Heath a great place for walking. The cafe itself has an interesting history. It used to be Britannia Barracks and is now a prison. The cafe is staffed by low risk prisoners that have volunteered to learn new skills and make a fresh start. It was really busy and the cakes were delicious.<br />
