Because my coloured pencil sketch’n’walk drawings are so different from my normal sketching I thought it was time to put them all together in the one post. As discussed previously these are really quick sketches done at some point during my evening walk and I was standing up for most of them.

I have a small collection of 11 or 12 coloured pencils (see here) and I generally draw first using my Sailor de Mannen 55 degree nib.

I really enjoy doing these super quick sketches with rapid strokes and a limited palette!

It’s fun to push myself to work as fast as I can without any pressure. No waiting time (for paint to dry) is good too!

Really quick sketch of a tree just as it started to rain.

I always find it fascinating to see how much my style and mark-making carries across various media.
