I didn't do too badly with my 'sketch a day' challenge. I limited the challenge to the school holiday, knowing that with the best will in the world I would not get out every day once the organised chaos of the school year started. Over the 6 week hols I missed just two days, and only twice had to take shelter from the rain to draw, although some days I had to time my drawing quite carefully!
As the days went by I found myself returning to a couple of spots to draw more than once. It became an intriguing thing to do, what would I look for on each occasion?
This is a familiar place that I drew 4 times, the sketches are starting to provide a much fuller picture than my photographs can...

Changes in light and mood, the influence of the weather, building memory. Building blocks for future work.
