Todays prompt was Sour and I was puzzling what to draw as it felt too negative. A solution came in the form of Medallia. Let me explain, Anne and I have had a day trip to Poole on Solent Scene with City cruises as an aspiration for several years. Yesterday the forecast me at we …
So the day started with the decision with checking of tide and wind to go kayaking in the bay again, this time however ai would take the sea kayak out as tide against wind meant it was a little choppier. So I visited amongst other spots in the bay; Peveril Point, Stone jetty, pier, Mowlem …
So we woke to a hazy day that just looked like it would burn off to be a glorious sunny day and so it proved. Here are pictures of the bay before and after work. So I got to work set up even more tables outside as I would be outside the shop making the …
So today’s Inktober prompt was watch and I did three small sketches based on that. The shop morning was good working with Jacob acting as my videographer who is making me a digital film piece to advertise the shop. He got me to draw some line work and then add colour with some interesting angles …

So, yesterday I sat on the downs to the south of the bay and enjoyed the view. Today was not a day for sitting outside, we had rain, at times light showers and at times heavy rain or persistent gusty showers. Realistically I expected a shop day where I would see virtually no one and …
So, from next week Friday will become a regular shop day as part of my trying to see which four days are the best to be open. Today however it is the first of October – AndyKnillArt Studio celebrates one month since opening. It is October which means a drawing challenge I have participated in …
