My day off today and I have been out and about buying books
for my bookshop and sketching.
The first sketch of the day was in Tankerton over a cup of tea
this morning, I think I am slowly getting a bit better with these very quick
sketches in just watercolour.
I finally got to Canterbury for lunch about half three and
went back to my current sketching task which I learning to get the perspective
right when sketching from an upstairs window.
The people are the most difficult one, fairly easy to make
it look as though you are looking down on them by drawing in the surrounding
buildings.
Anyway I then went on to sketching down the street from the
upstairs window again, right across the A4 sketch pad making an A3 sketch
I think I am getting closer to the real angles, but although
the photo looks right it isn’t quite the same for a sketch, which is why
sketches from photos often look a bit peculiar.
Yesterdays post about Manston got a lot of Facebook comment
and brought home the realisation to me that a lot of the people who consider
themselves to be pro airport or even pro airfreight hub or pro night flights,
don’t seem to understand that factual information about Manston is important to
both those for or against and that the front loaded nature of a DCO means that
pre application resolution of the majority of issues is just part of the
process.
Anyway another raft of documents at https://infrastructure.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/projects/south-east/manston-airport/?ipcsection=advice

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
