Today's challenge was to use shading to highlight the focus of the our sketch, leaving the unimportant bits to fade off into the background. Or something like that. There were supposed to be thick outlines in the unimportant parts as well.
We all met in the cafe afterwards, to pass sketchbooks and gossip, and then trooped out to have a look at Chris' new retiremobile - a big van with all the amenities of home. Plus a table with sketching supplies within easy reach. He's planning a trip this winter to visit the southeast.
