Sketching at Harry Dunlop Yard- Lambourn

Last week, I spent couple of hours sketching and watching the training at Harry Dunlop yard in Lambourn. It was interesting to see the race horses getting prepared for training and then enjoying a little bit of grass in the field after the training.

 Training racing tack!

projects for 2011- Project Africa

Monday, I went to Marwell Zoo to sketch from the animals. I was there only for couple of hours but I was really happy to see the Cheetahs.

I have few sketches that I will post soon - Sculpture sketches as well as  charcoal sketches....

Projects for 2011

I have few projects that I am starting to work on for next year ( mid 2011 forward).

The first project is my first solo show in June 2011
I have decided to give it a go and go for it so my first solo show will be in May-June next year.
I need to sort out a location, it will be only held for a week-end.

The second project is to go to Africa to draw and sculpt wildlife
This is a long term project and for that I need to carryon my daily sketching from life as much as i can so I am ready to sketch there.
I have also just taken my annual membership to Marwell Zoo so for the moment, I will be sketching and modeling wildlife in Marwell:)
