  • Decided to spend a bit more time here as the weather was so calm. Here's my scribbly page of Goonhilly star 'Arthur'. To be honest wasn't until I applied the dark pencil that it started to come together and match some of the landscape colours. The contrasts are high this time of year. ☀️ . . . #walktosee #cornwallart #cornwall #lizard #colouredpencil #brushpen #sketchbook #sketchartist #sketchingdaily #sketchbookpages #watercolour_sketch #urbansketching #urbansketcher #m_artcollection #showyourwork #landscapesketch #moleskine #sketchbookclub #sketchwalk #melaniechadwick #dailysketch #goonhillydowns #apollo50 #telstar #drawingpractice #drawtosee #sketching
  • No.18 GHY-1 Arthur, Goonhilly, Lizard, Cornwall Black ink, watercolour ☀️ sunny, freezing, bright. Lovely and calm day, brilliant sunshine but still a bit nippy. Definitely feels wintery. Today's postcard is brought to you from Goonhilly. This is the site of the world's first commercial antenna, GHY-1 or more fondly known as 'Arthur'. It was built in 1962 and carried the first ever trans-atlantic TV pictures from the USA to Europe using the Telstar satellite. It also had a pivotal role in the Apollo moon landings, beaming images of the 1969 landing to millions of homes around the globe. 👉2020 Postcard Project-a daily sketching challenge.

  • No.17 Town houses, Helston, Cornwall Black ink, watercolour ☁️Hail showers, freezing, bright. . 🖌Brrr definitely a dip in temperature this morning whilst sketching today's postcard. My fingers really did go that pink, particularly after the hail shower that I managed to avoid seeking shelter under some metal steps. I decided to go portrait too as I felt it best captured the town houses and St. Michael's church on the horizon in Helston. The light was beautiful and bright but definitely a chilly sketch session. . 👉2020 Postcard Project-a daily sketching challenge.

  • No.16 Thatched cottage, Porthoustock, Lizard Peninsula, Cornwall Black ink, watercolour ☁️ Windy, dull, cold. . 🖌Today's postcard is of a pretty thatched cottage in the hamlet of Porthoustock, a mile or so from St. Keverne. It's a pebbles throw from the shingle beach hence the many boats below. Just down from here on the left is a working quarry, which is quite dramatic and I think will make an interesting postcard view for another day. . 👉2020 Postcard Project-a daily sketching challenge.

  • No.15 St. Ruan, Ruan Minor, Cornwall Black ink, watercolour ☁️ Calm, bright, fresh . 🖌Today's postcard is of St. Ruan church, one of the smallest on the Lizard peninsula, located in the tiny village of Ruan Minor just up from the fishing village of Cadgwith. It dates back to the 13th century and was enlarged by the addition of the tower 300 years later. It is built from dark green serpentine and granite. It was rumoured that St. Ruan (Rumon) whom the church is dedicated to, was accused of being a werewolf, by his wife, but was set upon by dogs so proved not to be. . 👉2020 Postcard Project-a daily sketching challenge.
