I visited Belle Vue Park, a large Victorian public park in Newport which opened in 1894. One of the main features here is Belle Vue Park Tearoom! I walked around it and finally chose the spot under the shelter of the bandstand which allowed me to sketch the tea house under shade. I like how one of the ornamental pillars of the bandstand frames the tea house! Sketch Vlog below:

I was happy to visit St Fagans Museum of History on 3 June 2022 again! Upon seeing Stryd Lydan Barn, a cruck and timber-framed barn, which dates from 1550, I decided to stay there to sketch this historic structure. I really liked the textured surfaces of the old wood. To capture the textures, I spent much time drawing the lines to depict the wood surfaces. Sketch Vlog below!

Great to meet up with friends of Urban Sketchers Cardiff this morning at Fourteen Locks Canal in Newport. I walked down the canal and saw this beautiful cottage house and decided to sketch it. We had a gathering afterwards and what great sketches everyone produced!

Yesterday I had this pleasure to visit Tintern Abbey and surrounding areas with my friends. Itinerary was tight and I could only made a quick pencil sketch on location. I later colourised the sketch using walnut oil, gel pen and colour pencils.
