Penciling in

  The days that I spend in the gallery are never wasted. I try and use that time to upload sketches on to the website and answer emails etc. Once those chores are done its easy to pick up the pencil and draw up some more sketches for the project. Painting them here would be a bit impractical as the watercolour needs to be applied at just the right time and with a bit of concentration. Having to put a paintbrush down would be a bit, how shall I put it..... frustrating. The pencil sketches only take a matter of moments each to draw as they are the basic outline of the layout.

As busy as I was in the gallery today I still managed to work up about 24 drawings which now need to be scanned and uploaded onto the site before the get put onto the large pile of work to be coloured in.

 The added bonus to all this was that the very last customer of the day came in especially to see the Wainwrights in Colour and  he managed to choose one of the remaining fells for himself. That leaves just 14. all in all a good gallery day.
