The friendly @qantas ground staff gave me some lovely comments as they zig-zagged between gates at the @sydneyairport . I found a little nook beside Gate3 where you can see the hangers. We just finished a weekend of sketching in Sydney with other @urbansk

In the morning, I walked to #therocks to pick up a roll and coffee and wandered down to the #circularquay to sketch before our Cockatoo Island catch-up. I sat down the roll not far from me and started to sketch with a pencil when an Ibis grabbed it, still

It's a sketch from a couple of days ago at #cockatooisland . I thought I was undercover but the rain misted in and created an interesting look on my #theperfectsketchbookb5 . There were over fifty sketches as part of the First Urbansketchers National Meet

@frankgehry 's #paperbagbuilding (aka the @uts_business building). The mirrored surface reflected the adjacent buildings and made it look squashed and the texture on the brickwork made it look like a hand thrown pottery vase. Gorgeous! View 2.

Day 4 and our final outing for the #usk Australia catch-up. This is adjacent to the #utsbusiness building and is an open walkway built on the old service goods rail tracks.

Day 4 of the USK Australia catch-up. I walked towards Hyde Park with my rosemary pin and I saw the gathering of navy personnel waiting to commence their march in Castlereagh Street. This is a quick sketch of an elderly gentleman with his medals pinned on

Day 3 of the USK Australia catch up in Sydney was held at the convict barracks in the morning and was followed up with a stroll through Hyde park as we headed towards #chinatown on #dixonstreet. A lovely yum cha was organised in a restaurant (#ninedrago

I had to move twice to get out of the rain to sketch the #customshouse in Sydney. I missed sketching in the beautiful streak of light once the rain passed but I liked the yellow lights whinging through the bottom windows. The lovely Ethna was fielding lot

My sketch is unfinished, as we had to catch the #sydneyferry back but the painters were out giving the #manlybatherspavillion a new lick of paint. With @robynbauer @dottyscotty56 @katej8 @lizsteelart . #uskausmeet2016

It's hard to photo pencil drawings but with limited space or a sketch that requires a quick approach, I use my 0.7 mm 2B mechanical pencil. The sketches on the right were all sketched from the #manlyfastferry to catch up with the rest of the group for the

Sketched from a cafe at the @brisbaneairport . The closest @qantas plane glided in halfway through the sketch so I needed to paint it in over what I had half done. I realised then that that was my plane and I was at the wrong gate area. #qf509. #uskausme

The storm clouds were rolling in fast in #shorncliffe . I actually got out my sketchbook as I wanted to sketch the guy mowing with his victa lawn mower. He had his hat, shirt so he was listening to the #slipslopslap campaign but he was mowing bare feet! I

First page broken-in in #theperfectsketchbookb5! This is the newly refurbished #shorncliffepier in a northern seaside sunburn of #brisbanecity.

A few more darks should make it pop a little bit more. The misty view of the Brisbane skyline from the Toowong cemetery.

Painting @shutterandbrew with a takeaway Long Black and eavesdropping on the builders working on the townhouse talking about a $7 doughnut (?).

A small sketch a few months back in #dalby, a town a few hours west of Brisbane. I just found the business card of the people that run the Western Downs Outreach Program sandwiched in a book I was reading. I just scanned this email and sent it off.

Is it just me or do other sketchers love finding new spots to sketch in your home town. This is in Redcliffe a coastal suburb in Brisbane. I got a bit lost and rather than turning on the GPS, I followed the whale watching tourist route (although it wasn't

A sketch in between an amazing steak tartare like breakfast with XO sauce and an onsen egg and a pour over coffee. #treat @gauge.brisbane

An ink sketch of #qldmuseum's live #python display. Thanks Kieran (sp?) for explaining how these beautiful creatures change colour as they develop.

Another sketch of my local coffee shop, @shutterandbrew. They somehow remember the coffee that I like to drink too. I love a small town atmosphere in the city.
