Last day of travels. Sketching people at the airport in Lille and on the plane.

Continuing our travels in Ghent, Brugge, and Brussels by train. Such a fun and convenient way to travel. Much prefer it to flying. Ghent was a blast. Would go back there in a heartbeat. Brugges was a bust.

Went to Paris for a concert to see Dub Inc, and then spent three days wandering around the city ricocheting from sidewalk cafe to sidewalk cafe. Grabbing a little sketch time where possible.

Flight to Paris delayed so plenty of time to sit and watch, and sketch my fellow passengers. Humans really are a fidgety bunch. Thanks goodness they’re easily distracted by phones and lining up in orderly queues.

It only takes a little bit of the Algarvian sun to turn visitors from the British Isles to a lobster-red. Quick sketch at the cafe.

Trying a few of the challenges from this year’s . This challenge was from and was to draw the same thing multiple times. I was meant to draw an object. But I drew Koosje from her video instead.

Last Thursday I went along to the opening night of the new Collage Show . It’s a group show featuring lots of local artists - and is well worth a visit. Rather than spend all evening with a glass of wine in my hand I took my sketchbook, fountain pen and watercolours and sketched a few of the art lovers and artists attending. I was just going to sketch portraits but there were so many memorable outfits I ended up sketching a few of those as well. I only had a small 8cm square sketchbook with me. Next time I think I’m going to need a larger sketchbook. Enjoy the riot of colour.

Out in Cabanas sunshine for the day for some sketching near the water. Then home to paint. Not much movement at the fishing boat harbour, all the fisherman must be home eating their Easter eggs.

First Spring visit to Santa Luzia for a glass of wine and tapas, sitting outside Tasquinha do Bruno in the middle of the village. This is the view from where we were perched on a couple of little rickety stools on an uneven pavement, enjoying the sunshine and local food. Finally. Spring is here. Celebração! 🥳

Speed sketching zoom session tonight hosted by Chloe at - each portrait poses is the length of a music track. Painted the backgrounds after the event. Missed a few of these portraits off my last post so posting the page.
