London
I was quite taken by Marina Grechanik's drawing process at the Lisbon symposium - I'd always loved her drawings, but like Ea Ejersbo, I loved seeing her work - especially the free use of watercolour pencils. So a whole lot of us learned some lessons from Marina! This sketch was done having a coffee at Carluccio's on St Christopher's Place in London - with its very peculiar and pretty useless fountain.

Remembrance Sunday
The quickest scribbles made watching the Remembrance Day parade at the Cenotaph on TV this morning, which I've watched every year since I came to England (there's a whole article in that, but I won't write it now). Elgar's Nimrod near the beginning is where I got undone, but the quivery lines are just because of how quickly the images on the tv change. I think.

Pencil and pencil crayon in Moleskine sketchbook.
Pencil, pencil crayon and brush marker in Moleskine sketchbook.
Spent a long time at the exhibition of Italian Renaissance drawings feeling both humbled and exalted. I've included the sort of page that I usually leave out of the blog: lots of notes that I may never look at again, or that may serve as aide memoires if I write something about the show, though I did indulge in the catalogue too.

London yesterday
Brush markers and pencil crayon in Moleskine sketchbook.
All of these are drawings on the hoof, quick sketches made bu the country bumkin in the big city. I spent one and a half sweaty hours on the dentist's chair too - no record of that! I bought some lovely soft-leaded pencil crayons (I love them secondary or tertiary, what one might call mixed colours - an olivey brown, a fleshy pink, a pumpkinny yellow, yet another grey - yum).
