Sketching on Blackpool front this morning.
First 6B pencil sketch - the north pier from the promenade. I set out to block out shapes with tones, but I got drawn in by the intriguing sand shapes left by the waves and the draining pools. A speedboat passed - and a dog-walker.
Second 6B pencil sketch - one of the Victorian shelters, with the tower in the background. I sat next to a Dunfermline man and his West Highland terrier. We chatted about the state of things.

Photos: a closer view of the 'Joe Longthorne Theatre' at the end of the north pier. And a closer look at a newly refurbished shelter - with the Sky Landscape artist 'pods' visible far right.
