Sketchmeets on the High Street

When the weather turned cold, my sketch group began meeting to sketch in our local arcade. There's lots to sketch in there with much needed morning/afternoon tea to look forward to after each meet.

Here's another day when it was sunny outside but at 10C was just too brisk to sketch outdoors. My sketch was done from a convenient bench outside the Fella Hamilton ladies clothing store. A fish and chips lunch at Row Your Boat restaurant up the street was a nice social end to the morning. The lunch was sketched with brush only (a Rosemary dagger brush) with no pencil or pen lines. 

This sketch was done looking across the street from Populus cafe on the afternoon of 25th May.  Covid restrictions were to be re-introduced that night! A rain shower sent some of us indoors to finish our sketches but it was still a very nice sketchmeet. 

Unfortunately our state of Victoria was put into full lockdown  on 28th May! Hopefully that won't last too long...
