Today was another dry day, I sat outside all day and drew for quite a bit of it. The official prompt for a inktober today was “stuck” but to be honest, I wasn’t stuck at all as I worked on four pieces straight off this morning. Firstly I used the photos I had taken on …
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 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 …
