Back in September I started a new sketchbook – the Cappuccino Book from Hahnemuehle. It’s similar in format to the Grey Book I have now finished, but in a lovely coffee colour. I am not sure whether I have posted any of these sketches on this forum yet (most of the early pages were done for Inktober so those were posted elsewhere).
Here is an attempt to catch up.
An outing to a National Trust property – Buscot Park
An Urban Sketchers meet at a Community Cafe
A sketch meeting in a tiny railwayman’s cottage – preserved as a museum in Brunel’s Railway Village.January 14, 2019 at 9:48 pm #758360I like this cappuccino color to the page. That last sketch of the bedroom looks perfect on this toned paper…sort of sepia for an antique look!

Our January Urban Sketchers meeting was in a local shopping mall. A friend and I opted for the “open” cafe area in the centre of the ground floor. I was hoping to practice some figure sketching, but everyone was moving too fast for me! I did more chatting than drawing, but managed this snowman character in a toyshop window and then my friend and I drew each other.
I’ve been very lax with my sketchbook practice since Christmas – must get back into the habit.

I like your sketches, especially the cottage interior. The kinetic sculpture interests me too. It looks really nice paper, I like the tone.

So long, and thanks ...
January 25, 2019 at 6:52 pm #758353Thanks Eyepaint, Joan, Delo and Kay. Yes, I really like this colour, my favourite I think, although I enjoyed using the Hahnemuhle Grey Book as well. I have got a bit behind with my sketching this month – must get back into the habit!
January 26, 2019 at 2:51 pm #758359It does look a nice colour and interesting sketches of the railway museum. I prefer the warmer colour Nova to the grey (though I do like it as well)

January 27, 2019 at 6:48 am #758366A nice variety of sketches there. I still haven’t tried tinted papers yet. It’s on my ‘to try’ list for this year!
February 3, 2019 at 6:13 pm #758354Thanks Vivien and Claudia. Look forward to seeing your work on tinted paper Claudia – it certainly prompted me to experiment more with my sketches.
February 3, 2019 at 8:24 pm #758351Very impressive, Sonia! I love the color of the new sketchbook. It is nice to get back into the sketching routine.
