On a bit of a roll today sketching heritage rolling stock in Sydney. Put on my trainspotting hat (no anorak, though 😉 ), made myself a schedule, and managed five sketches in three hours at the Transport Heritage Expo at Central Station this morning. In order:
1st sketch of the day (done standing, for that special wobbly touch): 1920s wooden-bodied rail-motor carriage (ink in Hahnemühle Nostalgie A6);
2nd & 3rd sketches: Steam locomotive 3526 and diesel locomotive 4001 in the royal blue livery it was given in 1954 when it carried Queen Elizabeth II (ink and watercolour in Hahnemühle Watercolour sketchbook A5); 4th sketch: 4th sketch: Preparatory ink sketch of steam locomotive 3801 – a sleek American design from 1943 (ink in Hahnemühle Nostalgie A6); 5th sketch: Steam locomotive 3801 – a sleek American design from 1943 (ink and watercolour in Hahnemühle Watercolour sketchbook A5).#SydneySketchClub #HeritageTransportExpo2023 #SydneyTrains #CentralStation #Trainspotting #Locomotive #SteamLocomotive #DieselLocomotive #UrbanSketching #UrbanSketch #WatercolourSketch #WatercolorSketch #InkSketch

In the Sydney suburb of Paddington with Sydney Sketch Club this morning, sketching one of the many Victorian terrace houses. Traditionally a homeowner would paint their front door red on paying off their mortgage. No idea whether that's the case here.

On Wednesday morning I spent about an hour in front of the Museum of Sydney, sketching a view including one of my favourite Sydney buildings: Booth House (1938). I think I let the cold temperatures get to me – the sky was subdued but it wasn't quite as drab as this 🙂

This morning with Sydney Sketch Club, an indoor, inner city "nature journalling" session. (This involved gathering upstairs in a pub and playing musical chairs with artefacts that we'd all brought in.) This spread is a mix of ink, graphite and watercolour sketches.
