Recently I drew a sketch of King's Parade in Cambridge.

I love urban sketching, it is great fun as I often sketch with others and it makes me look carefully at Cambridge and the local area.

I have often sketched the buildings in Cambridge, including the the lovely old terraces on King's Parade, perhaps one of the most famous streets outside London. When I was asked by Byard Art to put some work in their Summer Show, I really wanted to sketch their gallery on the street. And this is the result. Drawn on heavy Fabriano paper with added watercolour, it is now in the gallery. Excitingly they asked me to make some manipulated prints for their print rack too. So although the original has a white sky, the others will have different skies, birds and balloons and added Cambridge 'stuff'. Needless to say I have totally enjoyed doing these.

You can see the sketches in Byard Art alongside a few more of my paintings until the end of August.
