Richmond upon Thames
18 June 2016
A day out with the Urban Sketchers London group. The morning sketch was of the bridge (there were lots of benches with a good view!).

The afternoon one was of a corner of Richmond Green; I like the contrast of the black plastic rubbish bags against the multi-million pound houses. The 4x4 arrived just after I started drawing, and stayed there, abandoned on the double yellow lines but with its hazard lights flashing, for the next hour.

Many thanks to John and Helen for arranging the day, and everyone who came along.

Summer in Sheffield
01 June 2016
Brief visit to Sheffield. It's bitterly cold; the wind whips round the corners of buildings; and then it starts to rain. But it's June! Took refuge in the (appropriately named) "Winter Garden": tropical plants in a enormous greenhouse in the center of the city.

Slightly warmer (that is, slightly less freezing) in the afternoon. Found a bench out of the wind, and drew the Cathedral Precinct.
