Mitwoch Markmaking

For a number of months now, a few of us here at the studio have been getting together once a week for a drawing evening. It's a chance to get together and get our hands dirty, without any particular outcomes in mind. Over the winter we've been holed up at the studios, doing lots of life drawing. But now, with the clocks changed, we're into our field season now - out drawing on the creek, the river, Observatory Hill...

In preparation last week we cut up all our odds and ends of paper to make sketchbooks. They're immensely satisfying, and indulge my stationary obsession. I particularly like the braille pages - torn out of a braille weekly sporting news!
