Sketchbook

Drawings, walks, and things I'm learning.

Ink studies of old doors

Spent two mornings sketching doorways in the old town. The trick that finally worked: block in the shadow shapes first and let the wood grain suggest itself.

Learning to stretch paper

Third attempt at stretching watercolour paper. No buckling this time; the secret was waiting longer before taping it down.

A slow week

Not much drawn. Reorganised the pencils by hardness, which felt productive and probably wasn't.
