Things That Attract My Eye – Part 30!
Today’s images come from three walks I did over the past week, two were 2.6 km (1.6 miles), and the other was 4.7 km (2.92 miles). All of these walks were in the same area, along the Nepean River in Camden, near where I ive.
I hope you enjoy them! 🙂









Till next time!

Things That Attract My Eye – Part 29
The following images were taken on recent walks close to home, except for an image taken at the Bombo Geological site known as Bombo Quarry, near Kiama, NSW, Australia, which is roughly 1 and a one-and-a-half-hour drive from where we live.
Hope you enjoy them! 🙂

New Adventure
Wonderful To Be Back At Red Point!
This month has been a very busy month for a number of reasons, so it was a real pleasure to get back down to Red Point Artists Maker’s Market at Port Kembla last Saturday.




Due to ‘Life’ getting in the way late last year, this was the first time I had been able to get there since June last year, so it was great to back.
They always have some form of music down there. Music certainly adds to the relaxed atmosphere of the day.
When I go down to Red Point Artists, my expectation is that I will have a relaxing time, sketching, painting and catching up with other artists. If I sell a painting, I consider that a bonus. A bonus happened on Saturday.








All in all, another wonderful, relaxing day! We are looking forward to attending again next month. 🙂
Till next time!

Watercolour Sketch a Day – Sheds
I love photographing old, rusted and or wooden sheds, and I’ve taken quite a liking to sketch and paint them. I think I am improving, and at the same time I’m endeavouring to ‘loosen up’ my sketching style.
The following two sketches are not of any particular sheds anywhere; they are just random images I did.
Materials:
- 300GSM 100% Cotton paper sketchbook purchased from Amazon
- Kuretake Gansai Tambi Japanese Watercolours
- Sumikondo Japanese Ink Watercolours
- Daniel Smith Watercolours
- Neef brushes
- Aqua Wash brushes
- Pigment Liner – UniPin 0.03 & 0.05
Till next time!
