Not much in the way of outdoor sketching recently as the weather getting cooler.

I recently attended a sketching event organised by one of our local Urban Sketchers. It's quite a while since I have done any figure drawing and it took a fair few poses before I settled in.  I found the full length poses difficult to capture in the time frame, so decided to concentrate on the head and shoulders.

Another slow-stitch project. I am not sure whether I will finish this piece with binding or frame it behind a mount.
