My turn with my colleague Helen to plan and run the day.  More fun meeting everyone but less productive.  It rained too but USk's spirits were high so nothing daunted lots of great work.
​
I managed two ink sketches which I finished during the week.  An interesting example of in one case 'losing it' and the other enjoying a pretty reasonable attempt at a difficult - because of its famous Turner depiction - view.

Their post boxes are blue and being on a steep hillside St Peter Port is full of alleys and steps as this one...
​

Round the other side of the island is a pretty little ancient church on a steep mound which we have passed every time we've been to Guernsey, just asking to be sketched.  Quite difficult as the sides of the tower angle inwards, the 'spire' is octagonal and the roof pitches vary.  A deal of 'measuring' and time.  I think it's close to accurate.  Proof if any needed that one doesn't see a thing properly until you draw it.
The subtle blue, pink and grey stone Norman arches are a joy.

It's been a while but I know how long site clearance and remediation takes but thought I'd better take a look.  Not much fresh to sketch but lots of space now...and bright yellow, empty skips stacked up.  Piles of detritus being scooped up and a high power water spray to minimise dust.
