Brisbane, other urban sketching : Alissa Duke

Other sketches from my two weeks in Brisbane and travelling on the airplane. I did lots of other drawings as well, on planes, beaches at my friends apartment .  http://www.flickr.com/photos/alissaduke/

This is a lovely , but busy area in Brisbane, but I found a quiet place to sit before ork each day and sketch. I was fortunate to have lovely weather. The heat has not set in yet.


The view from my office window. Sketched in biro , over a few days, before anyone else arrived.


Walking along the bikeway on Coronation Drive on the way "home"from work. The light changed so quickly and I missed capturing  the colours I wanted to draw

The view from a friends verandah, looking over Bridbane city. Perhaps the sky as not that purple but the city silhouette was black.
On the bus from Toowoomba to Brisbane - other passengers - in pencil



and at the airport on the way home to Sydney ......(via Adelaide)

Brisbane, lunch hour: Alissa Duke

I recently spent two weeks in Brisbane for work and spent my lunch hours sketching. I was fortunate to meet up with two Brisbane sketchers JJ and Asuka and they met me by the Brisbane River to sketch. I sat in the the same place everyday and there was so much to sketch. It was wonderful to make these interstate USK connections and I will let them know next time I am going to visit.
