In Haste...


Today I've been out at Roundthorn Primary School in Oldham where I've had a nice time with KS1 & KS2.

I did some sketches I was really pleased with on the train back and forth, but they'll have to wait a couple of days, until I've time to scan them in, as I only got in at 6.00 this evening and I am off again tomorrow first thing.

In the meantime, I thought I'd keep you sweet with a little sketchbook drawing I did in front of the TV last night - not the sort of thing I normally like to draw, but it was actually switched off, which I thought deserved recording!

I fancied playing with watercolours, and was experimenting with a waterproof Micropen I found in the drawer, instead of the proper cartridge pen I bought a while ago (which, irritatingly, started drying up on me when used with waterproof ink).

I don't really like pens that give a set line width, but it was nice and easy to use...

Hi there Lynne!
I met you on Monday when you visited Roundthorn Primary School in Oldham and just wanted to say a BIG thank you for a very informative day. The children and staff loved your illustrations and were very interested to hear about your wonderful job! (Personally I was also very envious!)
I have been browsing your website and loved looking through your sketchbooks, very inspiring and amusing!
I will most certainly be dropping by again soon!
Thanks again
Pat Wood

Lovely to hear from you Pat! I'm so pleased you felt the day went well and the children got a lot out of it.
