Some more from Easter at Aberporth in West Wales. People and dogs on the beach observed over 30 minutes (spot the soggy wet-suit walkers); a tractor pulling a boat out of the sea after the morning lobster-pot check; and fishing from the beach in the evening. I sketched some beach folk last year too, but used a brush for the more distant figures; using the pen encouraged me to start doing tiny contour drawings. The brown Kraft paper is great for beach sketching, that’s the background sorted…

Top two done with Lexington grey in fountain pen and water-brush, Pigma 1mm pen for the small one, gouache on all three, A5 – 30 minutes for the people, 15 minutes for the tractor, and 10 minutes for the fisher-folk
