Day 50, Tuesday October 24, 2017
Our Airbnb has bikes so today Bob went for a 34 km bike ride along this river. It only took him 3 1/2 hours, including his lunch break. Much better time than if I was along for the ride!
You can see the mountains way in the distance in this one.
I had a much-needed quiet day. I did all our laundry and a bit in my journal. I finally was able to take photos of the finished pages. Usually by the time get home it is too dark to get decent pictures.
I drew this page in the car on the way to Dubrovnik.
When we were in Venice I finally started to draw while I was on the bus or waiting for the vaporettos. I took a hardcover Stillman and Birn Alpha Sketchbook for this trip instead of my own handmade signatures. It is nice having everything already bound in a book but it is much heavier to carry around. The 9″x6″ landscape format is a bit awkward when I draw standing and a bit too big and obvious when I try to draw people without them noticing that I am doing so. I think I will go back to my old system of carrying a signature at a time in a folder and then binding them all together when I get home for any other trips.
I started to draw in a little notebook that is maybe about 3″x5″ and that is working for those times when my bigger book isn’t. I showed the lady in the last drawing her portrait as she walked by on the bus, and she was quite pleased. She told her friends so I held it up for them to see, and lots of other people saw it and were smiling at me about it. Kind of nice.
I had a chance to sit and draw the Karaka on location which was fun and challenging.
This ‘steam punky’ fish was interesting to draw . I used my favourite Bic pen for this one.
I have bits and pieces done on other journal pages, but really I am quite behind. I am trying to draw more on location whenever possible.
Way to go Bob🤗🌻
