I've had soft pastels hanging around for years in my studio, but never really used them. I've been exploring them and learning to like them more (they are dusty, and a bit unruly!) with the guidance of Greg Kerr's online course. This was based on photographs I took of the Boomslang treetop pathway at Kirstenbosch gardens in Cape Town - ended up in wild fantasy colours... perhaps I should have stopped at some earlier stage!
And an 'urban' sketch - a storyboard of a typical day under lockdown, which was a virtual challenge by
James Richards. In fact it's a typical day most days, except I'd be going to actual Tai Chi, and there'd be more visits to and from family, and the odd coffee or sketching with friends.

I keep a kind of "journal" in my sketchbook...tiny 2 x 2" most of them just a story telling about what is going on in my life...not necessarily high lights..just whatever catches my mood. I've done nine pages over the past year. Just finished one that took a long time. Covid lethargy set in.

I simple adore your urban sketching..it is what drew me to you at first.
Post them often. I am always inspired.
