It’s a bit of both, if they’re fairly loose and have the day’s date, they’ve been sketched on location, sometimes with the colour added later. The more precise ones I’ve photographed with drawing in mind and I’ll work on at night in the caravan (while Woody snore) or when we get home. Cheers Peter.

Surprised to see a 2CV so far away, but it’s true that I’ve seen them all over the world.

I vaguely remember riding in one once, ‘twas a dark night in Switzerland…

Always drawing these days. I only wish I’d discovered it earlier.

Any chance of a nice loose watercolour?

Pastel is my preference. Here is one I did years ago: https://derrickjknight.com/2022/11/27/from-pastel-paper-to-i-t-tools/
I have done birds more recently, but am having trouble finding them.

That’s beautiful work Derrick, and I’ll bet that you can’t go past that spot now without the feeling of knowing it better than anyone else.

Lovely sketches as usual. Do you complete them in situ or do a rough sketch and finish at leisure?
