Stealthy Lines and Excessive Colour

Yesterday was a beautiful, crisp, sunny day, and after a quick stop off in Dorchester I visited the Portland peninsular.  The sky was epic, with a searing stream of light burning through and illuminating a piece of the sea several miles out.  However, I ignored that completely and drew the delightful arc of Chesil Beach instead.

Somewhere in Dorset is a place called "Pamphill" which is basically a farmhouse (I think) that has lots of out-buildings that have been converted into studios for enterprising people to utilise for their work.  There's a framers, and an antiques shop, and a place that sells things that you put in the house to make it look like a old fashioned rural place, and there's a cafe and an upholsterer and so on and so forth.  

I did a little wander around looking for an interesting view and settled on this, namely because it was getting dark so in order to draw and paint the whole picture I had to be super-duper quick-sharpish.

I went for a walk down to the river and stood on a bridge to draw and paint.  A few people came and chatted, and one chap mentioned otters.  I didn't see any, but they're there somewhere.

Yesterday I went on a little outing for a quick sketching session at a place called Bradbury Rings, in Dorset.  It was cold.

Using my trusty brush pen combo of black and grey, here's a couple of drawings I made whilst visiting Blandford Forum last summer.
