Sometimes all you need is a sketch-along session to inspire and motivate. Eleanor Doughty has a monthly session on Vivify where you can just watch her sketch (and listen to her commentary, which is a treat in itself - I didn't know that brick buildings are not good with earthquakes!). And you can sketch along. She was working with markers and pencils. I started in watercolours so my sketch went down a different path, but I found it fascinating to hear her describe her thinking process when sketching a scene like this one. It helped me a lot. But nothing could save that water puddle. Maybe if I had just done the one?
