Yesterday's one-hour sketch session was on the subject of ARCHITECTURE which encouraged some wild interpretations (Martin!) We were joined this time by first-timer Roy who is Martin's dad and still going strong at 95. He showed us a painting of the Queen that he'd done a few years ago in acrylic which was excellent and a lot better than the recent official portrait in my humble opinion!
There were seven of us sketching live and a jolly fun time it was! Here are our efforts-
 |
| First up with a gorgeously colourful image including gold leaf is Alan Bartlett. He says it's a semi-abstract interpretation of the theme and why not? |
 |
| Anna Lindenberger wasn't with us live this time but she sent me this lovely drawing of Guri Amir which is the mausoleum of the Asian conqueror Timur (also known as Tamerlane) in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Those two colours are great together! Nice one Blondidredds! |
 |
| Another of our live scribblers was Annalisa Renee who sent me two images. The one on the left was intended to be a homage to the artist Leger and the image on the right is a sculpture she made a while ago inspired by the Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona. Two wildly different and interesting interpretations but that what's great about doing these sessions- the variety and the wide range of skills! |
 |
| Talking about wild interpretations we have the Martin Ansell and his dad, Roy! Martin's is the one on the left. His explanation was that the inside of the mouth reminded him of a church or cathedral interior. Tenuous, I reckon but I like the drawing. Roy's pencil sketch of a lovely old rustic church is definitely more on the nose. He didn't know what the subject was until we started the session so I reckon this is drawn from memory. Fabulous! |
 |
| Our next live scribbler is the ever surprising Anna K Lange who produced this wonderful twisted version of the Chrysler building with strange giant plants around it! I love this! I'd never have thought of making the sky black but it works. |
 |
| My idea was to draw the strangely shaped twin buildings in Prague that are know as Fred and Ginger after the dancing film stars Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers with the dancers in front of it. It was intended as a line and wash drawing but the pen I used wasn't waterproof so I had to tweak it a bit in Photoshop. |
 |
| Working remotely from Morocco is another of our regulars Khawla Sdour with this beautiful drawing of a pergola. |

Two gorgeous paintings from Julia Xandru. The one on the left is of the beautiful old 12th century castle Belver that dominates the skyline here in Palma. And the one one the right is influenced by Matisse and shows a girl in Rumanian folk costume with a Rumanian village depicted on the skirt. Beautiful stuff but I very much doubt that they were done in an hour! Oh well, rules were made to be stretched and broken.
