Mumbles

Recently I went to Mumbles for the evening for a walk and ice-cream. There were lots of opportunities for pretty photo's- I don't have a snazzy SLR camera (yet!) so these are just with my ipad;

30 Day Sketch

Day #9

A big plus of living in south wales is being close to both Mountains/forests/the countryside and the beach, you never have to go too far for inspiration.

For day 9's sketch I went for a walk up the mountain opposite my house to find a subject;

Inspired by my photo's I used an inky pen, and brown coloured pencils on brown paper to create this simplistic, natural pattern;

Time flies! I've been too busy enjoying the rare summery weather to realize I haven't posted for 6 days! Here's how the challenge has gone so far; 

 Day #3

I took this photo of a bike in one of the Cardiff shopping arcades earlier this year, I hadn't done anything with it yet so it became the inspiration for day 3;

Day #4 

I took this photo on a very warm evening last week. I used an inky fine liner pen, a black felt tip and watercolour paint to recreate the busy wildflowers.

Day #5

Perfume bottles; I used a pencil, inky fine liner and black felt tip- and my left hand for a challenge!

Day #6

A simple piece of lemon Meringue- I used watercolour paint. 

Day #7 

A bouquet of flowers inspired by a Pinterest image!

Day #8

Sketchy Yellow sunglasses
