On the third day of my latest Port Macquarie journey, I used to be completely by myself and and not using a plan!
My holidays/holidays usually are crammed with must-do/sketch lists, so it was beautiful to have a day with out an agenda. I ended up spending my time at seashores and cafes! How shocking! 🙂
I typically discover that I obtain extra once I take the stress off. And that proved true on at the present time – I visited three totally different seashores (sketching at every) and two cafes!
I began the day strolling to Flynns Seaside through Nobbys Seaside. It was an overcast day, and I sat on one of many rocks on the seashore and sketched Nobby Level.
It wasn’t the very best day to determine to go strolling – rain was on the way in which. However as a result of I didn’t have an agenda, I used to be in a position to wait till the rain stopped earlier than strolling again!
This can be a picture of Flynn Seaside exhibiting the rocky outcrop in the midst of the seashore that I’m obsessive about!
The cafe at Flynns – Sandbox – could be very standard, so I used to be blissful that there was a spare desk once I arrived. Right here is a photograph of the desk simply earlier than I began consuming my ‘smashed avo’.
Word: I typically merely seize some basic outlines/large shapes on my web page earlier than beginning to eat my meal. I then full the sketch by referring to a photograph after I’ve completed consuming my meal. I want to sketch extra earlier than I begin consuming, however the high quality of the meal (and consuming it scorching) is extra vital to me. You’ll discover that I often end my sketch of the espresso earlier than ingesting, although I do have a sip or two whereas sketching!
Right here is the completed sketch and a few swatches I did on the facet of the web page (whereas the rain was coming down!)
After returning to my Airbnb, I received in my automotive and drove to Shelly Seaside. I sketched this from the automotive.
After which I ended up at one other cafe! The workers at Bandwagon is tremendous good. The blokes stated to me, ” You may come again anytime!”
Right here is a photograph of the desk simply earlier than I began packing up.
After which I returned to Flynns to do a colored sketch of the rocky outcrop.
As soon as once more, I used my automotive bonnet/hood as my work floor.
