I must first start with an apology!
For the past seven or eight years or so I’ve posted every Wednesday of every week, pretty much without fail or exception!
Today, however, is a Thursday and to compound my embarrassment even further, it took my daughter to point it out to me that I’d totally got my days mixed up and without even realising it I’d broken a remarkably (for me at least!) consistent record of Wednesday blog posts!
I’m afraid I’ll have to make the most of it and celebrate a continuing consistency of just plain old weekly blog posts!
Continuing in a not too dissimilar vein, I’m actually quite surprised that my latest little misadventure hasn’t happened to me long before now (or even regularly come to think of it!)
I’d just sketched out this A5 study that I’m thinking might work at a larger scale when I toppled a full glass of red wine right over my sketchbook!
As much as I quite liked the effect of this first wash, I decided that to not carry on with the sketch would be a total waste of a good Tempranillo!
Here’s what it looked like when I’d finished:
…and with the tape removed:
The view is of a side street near the beach in the Barceloneta.
Spilled wine aside, I was pretty pleased with how this turned out and am looking forward to having a go at scaling this up a little larger!
