I’m away at Port Macquarie for a little break. It’s so good to be back – catching up with friends and sketching the beaches in this lovely part of NSW.

I normally use an A4 Moleskine sketchbook when I come to Port Macquarie but this time I’m using a smaller 9×6 hardcover Alpha book. It’s a bit of a challenge to fit big landscape scenes in this size book (especially as I’ve been using A4 for the last few months!) but I am enjoying the casual nature of a smaller book and I’m doing lots of sketching.

As I’m away and focusing on the Sketching Retreat I won’t be publishing any new articles here on the blog for the next week.

I look forward to seeing your work from the Sketching Retreat in the coming days and also to catching up on all my Port Macquarie sketches when I’m back.
