Ramsey Cambridgeshire

 

Ahhhh....Fish and Chips on a bench with the church to our right and the ruins of the Ramsey gatehouse to our left....took the long way home and found some great places to stop and sketch with a slightly higher view point of the Fens (hills are rare on the Fens) will be returning!

My Birthday

 

Had a wonderful day with family and friends and even tried Sake for the first time.

Ramsey, Cambridgeshire UK

Just love Ramsey for it's architecture.

Had 10 minutes to spare before heading round to a friends to collect some homemade scones....Yum!

Ramsey Picnic

 

On Wednesday I decided to pack a sandwich, a blanket and a couple of doggy treats and seek shelter from the sun under some trees on the green near the duck pond in Ramsey with my little pooch Kinx.

 

There are so many beautiful buildings in Ramsey but this particular house was smack bang in front of us, so that's what I sketched!

 

 

This is in one of my many A4 Daler Rowney Ebony sketchbooks gifted to me by the company themselves. Although the paper is not as I am used to, because the A4 allows me the same spread space on one page as the A5 does on two, I can flip through it filling just one side...which seems to be working.

It's not perfect because I'm carrying a much larger book around but for trips such as these (that involve me driving to a location and simply carrying my bag to a desired spot) it's amicable and will allow me to use up the freebies I've been given

Ramsey Cricket Club, Cambridgeshire UK

 

Yep! That's my little Italian Greyhound getting smacked across the head by a cricket ball. Thank God it bounced first and only skimmed the side of his head or I think it would have killed him!

Very scary!

Kinx was bruised and more than a little shocked  but otherwise fine.

 

The guy in the hat was walking around having a little chat with himself, bless him.



WWM - Day 30

 

Down 2 Earth

I sketched this on location a few weeks back but never got around to adding colour on location because Lauren, the owner of the farm shop, came home and parked smack bang in my view! LOL!

Added colour today from a photograph I took a few days later while passing.

Same scene as my last post but this time using my Lamy Safari fountain pen filled with Noodlers bullet proof black ink and watercolour in just a third of the time...10 mins.

Joan came to stay for a few days recently. She arrived just after 1pm, we ate lunch together and then went off just after 3pm for a sketch in Ramsey before dinner. We sat beside the church and I sketched the building across the green.
