We didn’t go into the Hydro, but did look at the Shark Warning Bell. This is in the same area as the St Clair to Various Places sign. Ingrid said they’d all go swimming (when it was warmer) and never had to ring the bell. That’s a good sign, right? …#SketchWhatYouSee #SketchForToday #Sketching #Sketch #PenAndInk […]

(Painted and Unpainted) This was near the beach, and it is fascinating that the South Pole is listed with the distance. Makes me curious how far away the North Pole is from our home. It’s not something I think about that often. Which do you like better? . . . #SketchWhatYouSee #SketchForToday #Sketching #Sketch #PenAndInk […]

Coming back to Dunedin, we stayed in this Airbnb for a few days. This was a perfect spot to pack up for the trip home. (Especially useful after an entire semester away.) It was also a good spot to catch up with some of the sketches in the sketchbook. This became the base for some […]

We turned in our beloved camper van 😟 and rented this zippy car 😁 to get us back down to Dunedin. I must say it was rather cool to have the phone be able to connect to the car’s radio system. We don’t have that at home, so it was an extra feature! The bad […]

See yesterday’s post for more. Here you can see the outside stained glass and some of my notes from my conversation. I drew this one from a photo I took. Sometimes I feel this is “nicer” to those I’m traveling with. In this case, they saw the men start a conversation with me, probably muttered […]

The Temporary Cathedral was one of the things I wanted to see in Christchurch. This was built after the earthquake destroyed the Cathedral in 2011. I had a long conversation with the fellow in red (at the eagle lectern). He saw me sketching and came over to talk about the church, etc….#SketchWhatYouSee #SketchForToday #Sketching #Sketch […]

We had heard of these, so asked Ingrid where we might find some. When we were in Reefton, we noticed that The Broadway Tearooms and Bakery had a large case of what looked like savory pies, custards, and other sweets in a large case. As it was after hours we decided to check it out […]

Here’s a sketch from the passenger’s point of view. This is a railroad underpass. You can tell it’s a one-way lane, and the right of way is for the (non-existent) on-coming traffic. . . . #SketchWhatYouSee #SketchForToday #Sketching #Sketch #PenAndInk #InkAndWash #InkAndWatercolor #CrossHatching #CrossHatch #BicPenDrawing #BicPenArt #BicPen #BicPens #PilotAcroball #PigmaMicronBrown #PigmaMicron01 #StaedtlerPigmentLiner #Watercolor #DanielSmithWatercolors #theoboatology […]
