Melbourne Urban Sketching in Brighton

We held a sketchcrawl in Dendy Beach in Brighton this week. Dendy Beach is home to the iconic colourful bathing houses.

 

We met at 11 am and caught up again 2 hours later to share our work. It was fantastic to catch up with the regulars, and meet new sketchers. Here are some of the work drawn by the group; most are colourful (above).

 

I enjoyed sketching the colourful bathing boxes – what fun with so many colours!

I was early and sketched over breakfast at a nearby cafe - a kayak in the foreground, Brighton residential homes behind it and the city in silhouette in the background.

Wednesday afternoon boat race in Port Melbourne

This is Port Melbourne, and every Wednesday afternoon there is a boat race. I love the colourful spinnakers balloon out as they catch the wind, especially on a sunny afternoon.

Winter at the Beach

Isn't it wonderful when we have such stunning weather in winter?
Warm enough to be at the beach and even put my feet in the water.

Two sketches I did today at Edwards/ Balmoral Beach today - the rest are on my blog

Hi Everyone. I've only posted here once before, but I'll make sure I'll bless you with my drawings more often. Here are a couple of drawings at a beach in Bunbury (WA) called Koombana Bay. I was taking my son there for swimming lessons, and was able to get some sketches in. It's great to see beach sketches from other members. I hope everyone is enjoying this time and getting a lot of sketching done.
