Back On The River.

With all this beautiful weather, I couldn't resist a jaunt on the river with Archie.

We dropped in at Newton-by-Beningborough, and paddlied up to Linton Lock where we beached and spent a little time on a rope swing into the river (Archie).

...fishing on the way back. Archie releases the only thing we caught; a small pike.

Good times.

Just finished invigilating the GCSE exams, and in between fetching paint, ink, acetate, pencils..... I managed to finish off a painting that I started at home about a week before. This is another rainy York scene. this time Monk Bar.
Here it is in stages...

Early stages, blocking in, and a bit more drawing than usual.

Establishing the tones..

..starting to build up details..

..a few more details.

It needs to dry off for a while now.

In school, cleaned up the window and the bar.

Done.
