If you’re visiting England, then a very pleasant stroll is along the walkway which follows the Thames at Windsor. Graceful swans with a regal air parade up and down this famous waterway. Artist Al Benge captured the scene with one of his black and white sketches. / “In between feeding the royal swans, it was very enjoyable to sit and sketch the river scene at Windsor. There is something very relaxing about this stretch of water, and i tried to capture the peaceful scene with the familiar pedestrian bridge and old buildings in the background, with a line technique, highlighting blocks of solid blacks and contrasting with more detailed linework.”
Along the Algarve coast of Portugal, there are some picturesque little villages, clinging to the hillsides of this rocky coastline. Artist Al Benge has the following comments about his artwork. / “My sketchbook was rapidly filling up as I travelled through Portugal on a recent holiday. The little port village of Ferragudo is particularly suitable for sketching, and I chose a pen and ink technique, with colour washes and splatter for texture. At the cafes on the foreshore, tasty sardines were being served, freshly caught from the boats which base their industry here.

I thought I’d try my more original pen sketch of this illustration on a tee.
While doing a quick sketch of this mule he was basically a good model, standing stock still. He did keep flipping his tail and shaking his head before I focused on the flies annoying him. He also seemed to be staring past, or even through me. I turned and looked over my shoulder, and there was an old wagon… it was then I heard the words; “I’d rather draw wagons than flies.” / I now shook my head. Was this a Mr. Ed of mules? OR, was it me who’d spoken unknowingly out loud? / I sketched the wagon and then added the quote I’d heard at the bottom. I know flys is spelled flies, but didn’t you know mules don’t spell well? It was drawn on a plain 5×8” card and was an experiment in mule whispering. I have also stayed up way past my bedtime to get this card designed appropriately in Photoshop for a RB card layout.
