Last weekend I attended another sketch-out with the Brisbane Urban Sketchers group.
This time, it was at Queens Park, Brisbane.
Rain had been forecast but we took the risk and it turned out to be a lovely day.
I set about sketching Queen Victoria using my new-to-me Pentel pocket brush pen.

Medium - Pentel pocket brush pen, PITT grey pens, watercolours
Paper - Moleskine 5"x8" watercolour notebook
After finishing Queen Victoria, I did a quick pen sketch of one of the palm trees in the park.
which I later coloured at home using PITT pens - landscape colour range.
We were intrigued by this fabulous group who call themselves
They looked awesome!
We chatted with one of their members and he said to think of
H.G. Wells and Jules Verne when you think of Steampunk...
the days of steam-powered machinery.

Below, I had a little play with sepia in my graphics program.
They were doing a photo shoot to advertise
All in all, it turned out to be a great day.
