Weymouth beach, Dorset

Weymouth beach

A sketch I did on Weymouth beach (Dorset, England) at the end of September. This is a large sandy beach in the centre of Weymouth. Other beaches around generally have pebbles.

I started with a quick pencil outline, then painted with the waterclour. Only after applying the colour I used a black ink liner to give more definition.

An despite the water being at 16 degrees Celcius (61 Fahrenheit), it was nice to go for a swim in the sea at the end of summer.

 

L'Arc de Triomphe wrapped by Christo

This a temporary artwork for Paris, was on view for 16 days from September 18 to October 3, 2021. After Christo’s death, the rojet he had designed has been implemented by his team.

I remember many years ago when Christo has wrapped the Pont Neuf in Paris.

The Arc de Triomphe was wrapped in 25,000 square meters of recyclable polypropylene fabric in silvery blue, and with 3,000 meters of red rope.

They were distributing samples of the fabric used at the opening.
