When I was not teaching a workshop in Manchester, I was trying to sketch as much as I could. I just love this city! Oh the red brick buildings, and the mix of old and new in every street!
These sketches are from the 25th of July, and in the evening there was a Drink&Draw at the Peveril of the Peak, the most charming pub I ever saw. And of course, when I got there, Lapin and Suhita Shirodkar were already drawing the place. So I drew them drawing it.
Top drawing: 19 x 17 cm, bottom: 19 x 10 cm, fude nib fountain pen with De Atramentis document ink, and watercolour, on Stillman & Birn alpha series sketchbook page.
