As the winter drew in at the end of October, I was experimenting with warm places where I could sit and draw. Behind the teen fiction section of Biggleswade library there is a small desk which looks out onto the street.

I’m not sure about spending the winter hanging out in the library drawing – after all, it was Nico who said that “libraries are where you go when you want to avoid life”. Plus, the library is a rather stationary building, and at some point I would be tempted to draw the inside of the building, which is all complicated bookshelves and perspective. No thanks!

This was also the end of my Arches “Travel Book”, a rough type of watercolour paper in a 16:9 ratio, that I started way back in Letchworth. I was actually pretty glad about that, as I was finding the paper really hard to deal with. Still haven’t found the perfect notepad for watercolours yet…
