Corfu

I'm back! Had a lovely time on this beautiful island. We got there before the high season had truly kicked off so we had entire beaches to ourselves! I left the brush pens at home this time & decided to force myself to use materials that I'd not touched in a long time. I took a thick Fabriano sketchbook of multi-coloured paper & a compact watercolour set. I present the results below.















This is a silly doodle I made in the hotel guestbook. I modestly portrayed myself as a Greek god!



'Tigris' is a collaboration by Nikos (aged 4) & Matt (aged 30).


Artefacts & antiquities spotted around the island.

    Whoa! What a beautiful place.

    I like the new you, press on with the pencil. The collaborative drawing is superb, even though we all know you did it on your own!

    I love the pictures too, especially the shot of that incredible woman walking in the street. See the way the sun bounces off the booty! You can't make that stuff up.

    Corrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr fu
