From Ballsbridge library

I found it too cold to sketch outside. Some of the ladies are 10 years older than me, and they don't seem to feel the cold like I do. Irish women don't feel the cold. So I decided to go inside the Ballsbridge library. It is a Carnegie library, like many in Ireland. I found a great spot on the first landing, looking out the window. This was my view. I drew from edge to edge, inspired by Liz Steel's theme for the month of March. And when I got home, I used a Posca marker to paint a bit of sky, which was blue on that day (still cold though). I'm working in a Stillman&Birn sketchbook. It's not an alpha or beta. Can't remember which it is, but the paper is quite glossy and smooth. Lovely for pen drawing. But not good for watercolour. So, tempera sticks and poscas to the rescue when I want an area of colour. The sketch with the chairs was my warmup. I drew the chair shapes with tempera sticks and drew everything then with a Sailor fude on top. Added some Neocolor for background, then Posca on top.
