Cessna 152
Quick sketch of a Cessna 152 light aircraft at Jandakot Airport. Seats two people, son went up for a 1 hour joy ride, controls for both passengers, he got to take off and fly the aircraft (qualified pilot did the landing and tricky bits). They flew across the city and ocean to Rottnest, lap around the island, did a barrel roll, loop-the-loop and stall turn, something different!

City Beach Winter Sunset
The “golden hour” glow of winter sun at City Beach Perth yesterday, the sun officially set at 5.19pm. This sketch took around half an hour drawing and painting in my new (first page) “Seawhite of Brighton” sketchbook bought in Winchester in the UK during a pre-covid holiday. It seems very good paper, bright white with a “Not” finish gives enough texture to get the dry-brush effect that I wanted for the white water waves, the 200gsm thickness didn’t buckle or warp.
Waterbrush and 6 colours…Hansa yellow medium, Yellow ochre, Transparent pyrrol orange, Quinacridone lilac, Indanthrone blue, Phthalocyanine blue (green shade). I’m finding that I can mix almost any colour I need with just these 6 colours, this is my variation on Jane Blundell’s recommendations for limited palette.
