Allotment views

Posted on October 28, 2016 by Ed Mostly

The same view (backs of Bath buildings from some allotments) sketched three times on separate days. All late afternoon/early evening, all in bamboo dip-pen, all in coloured ink (including an oddly muddy grey De Atramentis blend) but all a bit different as … Continue reading →

Three corners

Posted on October 22, 2016 by Ed Mostly

Funchal neighbourhood

Posted on May 10, 2016 by Ed Mostly

Yet more from Madeira… Fellow customers at our local bakery/cafe, a first floor view looking down the street we were staying in to the mountains beyond, and a much extended house on a steep street nearby (slightly Seuss-like with tower, external … Continue reading →

Around Funchal

Posted on April 28, 2016 by Ed Mostly

More from Madeira, three general views around the capital. The first is from a rocky beach (they’re all rocky on Madeira…) near the harbour, buildings crowding the crumbling cliff. Then looking down a central street towards the surrounding hills, cloud … Continue reading →

Madeiran market

Posted on April 14, 2016 by Ed Mostly
