Fantastic! Although it's not on my current goals list, one day I mean to get to grips with sketching, drawing and painting. =)
Love your header image, BTW!
I love these sketches, Jules. The layout of Kings Weston with the carvings around is superb. I want to visit there now!

I love the sunset behind the lighthouse - stunning!
Hey Jules!!! I am loving your watercolors! I found a site of a water colorist who teaches online and am really loving it - her name is Billy Showell (you can find her here : http://www.subscribe.billyshowell.com/ ) you know, just in case you are interested... :D
Hugs always my sweet blogging sister,

P.S. I feel really horrible about the mousies... I don't like, er, k.lling anything, well, okay, mosquitoes I have no guilt over. I could never get rid of that adorable little sewing mouse... way too cute :D
These are turning out really well - are you finding it easier, or less scary, as you do more and more?
Fabulous Jules and love your self portrait!
Another set of beautiful sketches. You are so talented
A real pity the challenge is ending, so I hope you do keep on with your beautiful watercolours and subjects. The old machine must be feeling happy to be immortalized this way and a potted history as well. Are you framing any of these sketches?
Thanks Beth, Billy is a wonderful botanical artist. I feel for you with the mice!xxx
