Sketch of The Hive at NTU

I'm feeling rather pleased that an old sketch I did in 2016 while living on campus at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore has been featured in the online version of the university's Hey! magazine. 

It is a sketch of an unusual building on campus called The Hive.

Here's the link to read the original post on my blog from 2016:

The Berwick Show 2020

This is my third visit to this yearly agricultural show at Akoonah Park in the outer Melbourne suburb of Berwick.

Here's a hasty sketch as we headed into the showgrounds and watercolour was added when I managed to find somewhere quiet to sit by myself within view of the rides. 



I find adding paint to a sketch while standing just a bit demanding when being rushed along.

Bulls are good animals to sketch as they don't move around too much. Herefords seem very friendly. This Hereford bull took great interest in me. 



So polite too, he waited till I finished sketching him to lie down and go to sleep.
