29th September

30th September

1st October

2nd October

Ahem, yes, 28th September is missing and I have no idea where it is or even what it is. Oops.
30th and 2nd are continuing the experiments from Drawing Projects (I love that book, even if it is full of spelling mistakes...) and 1st October, ah yes, the rugby. Please don't make the mistake of thinking that I am a rugby fan, but if it's on in the flat on a Saturday morning, well, there are quite a few walking caricatures to take a pencil to! 29th September is an illustration practice piece.

24th- 27th September

24th September- drawing with Nina, Beckholmen

25th September

21st September

22nd September

23rd September

Experiments continued... using the book Drawing Projects by Mick Maslen and Jack Southern. The top two are examples of drawing by touch- i.e. feeling an object (in this case my own face) with your eyes closed and drawing what you can feel. Remarkably liberating- and I rather like the results.

17th- 20th September

17th September. Inroads have been made into Nick's birthday cake from yesterday...

18th September: a coffee in a trendy cafe that doubles as a dvd rental shop.

15th September- Charlotte Murray- experimental drawing series continued, this time by touch only and without looking at what you're drawing. It's a bear as in a stuffed toy, by the way...not  a real one!

15th September- George Murray (Hmmm, it's weird to be on the reciving end of this now- I'm usually the one doling out the 'sit still, I'm drawing you'.

13th September- two Murrays draw their way around Stockholm

Continuing the week of drawing with my visiting Dad, (and Mum, who has successfully avoided drawing for the last 30-odd years) we went to visit Skansen, an open air museum which contains old buildings from all over Sweden which have been reconstructed to give an idea of the history- architectural and social- of the country in one place. Plus they have scandinavian animals- the coolest of which are the elk, I think, though the bison and bears are not far behind.

13th September- Elk at Skansen- George Murray
