A quick portrait I did during two lunch breaks last week. I didn’t get the likeness but it’s not so important to me, my focus is on technique right now…

| Neil Young 20130219 (Pencil on 200g watercolour paper) |
This started out as a watercolour portrait of Neil Young but I just could not stop putting down strokes with my pencil. I spent four lunch breaks doing this, thats about 2 hours work in total I guess.

Lunchtime sketching resumes
I have been rather busy since the summer holidays. But today I was relaxed enough to do a little lunchtime sketch. I don’t know if anyone would recognise this artist, a hint is that he likes to sing about buildings.

| Bird Feeder Sketch |
I was working from home today so I was able to sketch the birds outside the kitchen window during my lunch break.
Illustrated with my Hero 86 calligraphy pen.
Here are a few sketches I did in the last few days with my new Hero calligraphy pen. The first two sketches are from a book called, “Anatomy for the Artist“. The other sketch with watercolour was from the wonderful street photographer, Vivian Maier‘s website.
No preparation penciling was used for these drawings, I’m trying to push myself to be free with ink and watercolour, trying to lose the fear of making mistakes.

| Stockholm Town Hall |
I am too busy to find time to sketch outdoors at the moment, I look forward to my summer holidays which are coming soon. I did this sketch of the Stockholm Town Hall from a photo while having lunch in front of my computer screen. I used my new Hero calligraphy pen.

Thai Take-Away
I wondered what to sketch during my lunch break, and then I saw it there, right in front of me, the Thai Take-Away, why not!

Two sketches today

| Solvalla Betting Kiosk |
I found time to do two sketches today, one with detail and the other without. The sketch to the left I did during my lunch break. I work at the Solvalla horse trotting track just north of Stockholm and so this is why I picked a betting kiosk as my subject. I find it to be one of the more attractive buildings in the area.
The Sketch below I did on the way home from work, the sun was shining and Medborgplatsen (town square) was full of people. I needed to get home to my family for dinner so I used less detail.
