Thursday 11th May at Walberswick

11/5/2023

Walberswick!  What a great place for sketching, with the ferry, boats and river views, people crabbing, old fishermen’s huts, beach huts and distant views along the coast.  It was one of my favourite places for outdoor sketching.  The weather seems unsettled which might have deterred some, but it turned out better than expected.  (Thanks to Sally T for sending Philips photos with wonderful cloud images.)
As usual, click to enlarge images
Avril said it was a lovely sunny day but she only managed a few quick sketches.
Sally T did some quick drawings of the river at Walberswick today. She says they had a lovely day. The weather was warm and sunny. No need for  wooly hats and gloves or macs. Amazing cloud formations, as you can see above.

Sally L was unable to go to Walberswick today but has sent us a picture of her favourite building in Bungay, which she has just finished.  A difficult choice with all the details and challenging perspectives.  I like all the details in the shop windows and doorway, as well as the glimpses down the sides. And it’s apparently in her favourite Norwich City colours.

Others who were not there today have sent in work done at home. Here are Harriet's.
These are from Diana which include a collage and beginning of painting from photos taken at Angela’s last week, also an old photo of huts at Southwold which she comments may not be there since the fire.
Frances, in France, has done a sketch of a village beside the river Vilaine south of Rennes. For the second picture she has tried to use a scratch card.  Not sure how she has done it but I think it is very effective.
From Lesley in Northumberland:  here are two 10 minute sketches of the Northumberland coast, in pen: first one looking south from Lindisfarne to Bamburgh castle, second a few miles up the coast looking south from Lindisfarne to Bamburgh!
The weather has improved at last,

Carolyn has not let us down and has sent in her picture of the week. She has tried to contrast the 'smoothness' of the mushrooms with the 'roughness' of the grass.

I hope you will forgive me for including a painting of my own done several years ago.  It shows Walberswick in inclement weather and hardy crabbers. (N)

Apologies for not being able to include many of the photos sent by Avril and Sally T.  Unfortunately I was having a lot of difficulty in uploading them on to the website and eventually had to give up. However I think I have got all your artwork in.
Next week's sketching is at Mellis, with facilities at Sally T's.  Hannah will be in charge of the blog, so please remember to send your work to her.
