See, I told you I’d be back for Day 7. And look, took a full spread in the ol’ sketchbook, too. We’re back on land now, although I hope you’re wearing boots. Looks a little muddy. Often is where boats dry out between tides, even if a gravelly beach. We’re told this is another @johnwarburtonartist photo up […]

Day 12 in November, Day 8 Boatober Sketch.
Yup, I skipped Day 7. Don’t worry, I thought I might get some of you seasick first. 😉 Actually, Day 8 got in the spread of my sketch book better than Day 7 (which looks like it will be a full spread). And, yes, there are two posts today. Here’s another the smaller the boat […]

Day 12 in November, Day 6 Boatober Sketch.
Sometimes, the smaller the boat the bigger the fun. @johnwarburtonartist provided this photo for the challenge, too. Check out what he did for this day’s prompt. 👍🏻 In continuing experimentation, I used watercolor pencils (without adding the water).

Another Day in November, Another Boatober Sketch.
From the fantastic Sail the other day, we find ourselves up Huddersfield Narrow Canal, near Marsden. @johnwarburtonartist is credited with providing this photo for the challenge. Check out what he did for this day’s prompt. 👍🏻 I’m trying to only look at what others have drawn after finishing mine. And in this case, I tried out an […]

Armistice Day Reflection – Pastoral Letter
Dearest Community, My Grandmother always talked about Armistice Day. I don’t ever recall her speaking of the day as Veterans Day. I can still hear her reciting “the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month” peace was reached. I think the day, for her, had more to do with the end of […]

Day 4 of Boatober in November
And we are off to sea. Here we have the pilot cutter Agnes. Launched in 2003, she is replica of traditional Isles of Scilly pilot cutter. @doug_jackson_artwork photographed Agnes from a friend’s boat in the Falmouth Classics race. I’ve always loved the pilot cutters, even though bowsprits and long keels make for some “interesting” marina maneuvering. But […]

Day 3 of Boatober in November
Any of these strike your fancy? It would be interesting to see these in person, as it looks like the foremost ship has been turned into a cat boat (una-rig for you Brits, where this photo was taken). Hope you are enjoying. 😉 Morston in North Norfolk I believe. . . . #boatober2022 #SketchFromPhoto #SketchForToday #Sketching #Sketch #PenAndInk #InkAndWash #InkAndWatercolor #FountainPen #WingSung698 #deAtramentisInk #Watercolor #WindsorAndNewton #MoleskineArtSketchbook #theoboatology ______(\____________/)______ This […]

Day 2 of Boatober in November
You shouldn’t be seasick yet as we are still firmly on the ground, but hang on – I’ve seen the chart. In a few days we’ll be off to sea. If memory serves, @doug_jackson_artwork took this photo in the Outer Hebrides. . . . #boatober2022 #SketchFromPhoto #SketchForToday #Sketching #Sketch #PenAndInk #InkAndWash #InkAndWatercolor #FountainPen #WingSung698 #deAtramentisInk #Watercolor #WindsorAndNewton #MoleskineArtSketchbook #theoboatology ______(\____________/)______ This is from the Rev.

Boatober in November
I was meaning to join @doug_jackson_artwork ‘s #boatober2022 – but well … I guess we didn’t have the weather window, the currents and winds were against us … but now we’ve shipped out. Better late than never. 😉 Hold onto your lunch! Hope it doesn’t make you sea sick! 🤞🏻 . . . #boatober2022 #SketchFromPhoto #SketchForToday #Sketching #Sketch #PenAndInk #InkAndWash #InkAndWatercolor #FountainPen #WingSung698 #deAtramentisInk #Watercolor #WindsorAndNewton #PentelWaterBrush #MoleskineArtSketchbook #theoboatology ______(\____________/)______ This is from the […]
