Street Still Life. Poznan, Poland. August 2025
Some girls, living next to here, asked to see my sketch. I showed them the sketch as it stood with just the loo. I couldn’t speak Polish and they couldn’t speak English but they glanced at each other with a “weird bugger” look.

Raindrops forced me to finish this sketch under one of the entrances to these flats.

Targi Sztuki Alternative Market. Poznan. August 2025
It chucked it down as I was sketching sheltered under the roof. None of the stallholders were really worried as their stuff was getting wet.

No Right Turn, Poznan, Poland. August 2025
No one knew why the Polish flags were flying in this street.
I left my pencil case (made from an old bike tyre) here. I was lucky it was still there when I went back. Another sketcher said no one took it as it looks like a piece of rubbish!

I was so engrossed using coloured pencils for almost the first time in 12 years, that I jumped out of my skin when another sketcher came up for a look. Drawn with 23 other urban sketchers.

Drawn to the sound of a service with singing. It was dark drawing in here, especially when a cloud passed.

Drawn from a rooftop bar. I had to stop as it was getting too dark but I think the sketch is better for it.

Drawn with Peter Rush’s demo during the international urban sketchers meet. This is one of Peter’s views he recommended. I had to replace my pen’s refill but threw the full one into a bin, which I had to fish out!

Poznan, Poland, drawn with international urban sketchers.
I was looking directly into the sun so I sat in the shadow of a traffic light and kept moving as the sun moved.
