I always promised myself I’d get round to archiving my old sketchbooks, and this Easter weekend has given me the opportunity to do so. I’ve got about five years of stuff in the attic to go through, so that might take a while but to start, here’s a selection of the best artwork from my trip to Venice in 2005. Reflecting on some of these quick sketches and overpaints, I’m left wondering how I managed to put pen to paper during that week, which seemed to pass by in a sleep-deprived blur.
Good fun, just wish I could remember more about it!
Nice images my son. Post card images a plenty. I particularly like the use of colour in the last image. Impressed. LP
Thanks Chuck! I’d forgotten all about these sketches until last year, when I was going through old sketchbooks. Like I said, I don’t remember much of Venice except heckling Zucchini in St Marco’s Square at 11pm when I should have been back at the hotel sleeping. 😛
