Shaftesbury and back: Sketchbook

27/09/2011

Sketchbook - Sep 24th

This weekend I went to stay with my friend (and very talented mixed media artist) Jeanette Maisy House in Shaftesbury. The lovely girl bought me a new A5 handmade sketchbook, made by Helen Smith of Hypsela to match the smaller A6 one I had bought a few weeks ago. Whilst there, we spent some time (so I could take photographs) in the three acre landscaped garden of her parents called Breachfield. Sadly, I didn’t have a lens with me that could capture good shots of the garden, and also the light was very bad, but I did gets some great close up, bokeh and macro shots, which I will blog soon. I did a small line drawing based on some of the daisies I saw there in the A5 sketchbook she gave me.

This one I started (in the smaller sketchbook) on the way home on the train. I was desperate for a good cup of coffee you see, and against my better judgement bought a coffee from the trolley lady. Mistake, a more disgustingly disappointing beverage has yet to pass my lips to date. Perspective is way off I now, but it’s a doodle after all. 🙂

    Love the mocha doodle!!

    And next time you come, you’ll have to bring your other camera lens – assuming Breachfield hasn’t sold… *cries*
