Today was a day away from the studio.  Whilst no sketching or painting achieved art was still a part of the day.  An early morning visit to Art Shed on Montague Road was on the agenda - always good to check out what is on offer!  I bought a new A4 watercolour book (Arches) 300gm and medium.  I want to continue with my desserts and coffee cup series and prefer to use the same paper as before.  A couple of other items were purchased before going to Le Bon Choix, Paddington.  The afternoon was spent in the antique shops in the same area.  I am always on the look out for new cups - still life material but didn't see anything that grabbed my attention today.   I will be back to work tomorrow.
In the coming week I will complete my animal sketch collection and complete some illustrations based on a selection of the sketches before returning to plan out my next autumn in Paris painting.  Here is the photograph from which I will formulate a composition.
