On a bit of a roll today sketching heritage rolling stock in Sydney. Put on my trainspotting hat (no anorak, though 😉 ), made myself a schedule, and managed five sketches in three hours at the Transport Heritage Expo at Central Station this morning. In order:
1st sketch of the day (done standing, for that special wobbly touch): 1920s wooden-bodied rail-motor carriage (ink in Hahnemühle Nostalgie A6);
2nd & 3rd sketches: Steam locomotive 3526 and diesel locomotive 4001 in the royal blue livery it was given in 1954 when it carried Queen Elizabeth II (ink and watercolour in Hahnemühle Watercolour sketchbook A5); 4th sketch: 4th sketch: Preparatory ink sketch of steam locomotive 3801 – a sleek American design from 1943 (ink in Hahnemühle Nostalgie A6); 5th sketch: Steam locomotive 3801 – a sleek American design from 1943 (ink and watercolour in Hahnemühle Watercolour sketchbook A5).

Am Flughafen ging's dann nochmal 😀

In the Sydney suburb of Paddington with Sydney Sketch Club this morning, sketching one of the many Victorian terrace houses. Traditionally a homeowner would paint their front door red on paying off their mortgage. No idea whether that's the case here.

Tiny Mastodon Tip 🐘✨:
When you toot (post) about a news, event, movie, show, book, game, etc,
It is a good idea to use at least one hashtag in your toot 
This gives several benefits:
1. It allows people to follow
the news/event/topic as a whole by following the hashtag #️⃣
Here’s how: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/109632742444639128
2. It allows people who do not
want to hear about it to mute this news/event/topic using Filters 🔇
Here’s how: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/109323462169819778
3. It allows people to search
for this specific news/event/topic using the search function 🔎
Also remember:
4. If your hashtag has more than one word, you should capitalize the first letter of each word to help with accessibility (CamelCase) 🐫
5. You can put your hashtag(s) at the bottom to help with readability like I do here 👇
6. Magic! ✨

Click on the hashtag that interests you 🔍 3. On the hashtag results, click on the “Follow hashtag” button the upper right, it is a small icon of a human figure with a plus sign 👤➕ 4.

John AltringhamWatercolour. A thin intrusion of mafic basalt running through felsic Lewisian gneiss. The two rock types, with their different mineral content, have strikingly different lichen communities. From Raasay, NW Scotland. A second, and probably final, sketch of this - I have some other interesting rocks to try...
On Sunday afternoon I attended a workshop at the Sydney Opera House: Life Drawing and Opera. It was led by three practising artists and a soprano from the Australian Opera Chorus was the guest performer and costumed model.

Sunday turned out to be a figurative drawing marathon. Spent the morning at the Archibald Fountain in Sydney's Hyde Park, making pencil drawings of Diana and the Stag, a turtle, and Pan watching over the sheep and goats.
