More live sketching at Janice’s, this time we played with scraps of newspaper.

A quick charcoal & pastels session with Janice, while Sam scultps a small wooden figurine…

A drawing done with soft pastels – what I like about it is this splash of water which came from-honestly-god-knows-where – it added a somewhat perfect finishing touch..

Sing hey! For the bath at close of day
that washes the weary mud away
A loon is he that will not sing
O! Water Hot is a noble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain,
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better then rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed
but better is beer if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien
