Grangegorman and Barber's Bar

We were blessed with dry weather on 21 December. It did get cool as the sun went down on the shortest day of the year. But we had a lovely pub to retreat to, The Barber's Bar. After working in watercolour and pen outdoors, I moved to pen and 2 black/graphite pencils indoors, as the lighting made it impossible to see colour. I practised the push and pull technique to give my sketch more depth. Really enjoyed it, I have to say, but will need to place a piece of paper to stop it from smudging. I had to use an eraser to remove all the smudge marks from sketcher hands (mine and other sketchers, as we look at each other's sketchbooks).
