My mind is often cluttered with things on my to do list with little time for stillness. And maybe that’s because I think I don’t have the time, I simply don’t make the time or sometimes it doesn’t even occur to me to have “me” time. Maybe I should add “be still” on my daily […]
Teddy Meets Natalia in ScarBrazil
It’s Autumn and it still feels like Summer. The Scarborough redevelopment construction is finally complete and we can now enjoy the “new” Scarborough. On one of our leisure morning walks we met Natalia from Brazil. She had only just arrived in Perth, in fact Australia the day before, here to study English at the English […]
#OneWeek100People2018 Challenge : My First Day
I’m not too sure where this challenge originated from but when I heard that it was about to start again this year, my immediate thought was that it was perfect timing because I’ve been practicing drawing people. Last year I would have shied away from this challenge and stuck to my food sketches. My day […]
5 Reasons to Love Scarborough Beach
In previous posts you’ve heard me say how we moved back to Scarborough a few years ago. We lived here pre-child and pre-marriage about 20 years ago when the Scarborough was considered to be less savoury lets say. Since moving back so much has changed here. We feel like we’ve come home or more to […]
Urban Sketching : Coode St, South Perth
When I found out that the next Perth Urban Sketchers meet up was going to be in South Perth I was elated. I used to live in South Perth during my university days and despite moving to the coast in recent years I still come here to enjoy the riverside scenery. The open green spaces […]
Urban Sketching : Perth Twilight Hawker Market
One of the reasons why I love the International Urban Sketchers community is that no matter where you are in the world you can always find other urban sketchers to sketch with and make new friends. We recently had three overseas sketchers visiting Perth at the same time, one from Malaysia, Singapore and Nairobi. What […]
Urban Sketching : UWA Perth Up Market
Not realising that we scheduled our monthly meet up at UWA (University of Western Australia) on the same day as the Perth Up Market made our sketch meet a serendipitous event. The Perth Up Market was established in 2008 and initially held at the Perth Town Hall but with its growing popularity, the markets moved […]
Sketching the Everyday : My First Workshop
Nervous excitement is what I felt when I was invited to run a sketching workshop. I’ve run plenty of workshops before but they were all work related, stress management, career redirection, rediscovering your passion and the like. This was going to be a “fun” workshop where I get to play. And lets face it we […]
A Peek into My Sketch Kit : May 2016
I often get asked “what do you keep in your sketch kit?” You would think I have the same answer each time but because of my fetish for compact travel items and in particular sketch gear it changes, I would say every few months if not few weeks. And oh, my love for pens too, […]
