As last week’s drawing of the island at Tenby was so quickto do, I decided to do this week’s project, Carew Castle, as a drawing ratherthan a painting as originally planned.
As well as printing off an A4 size photo to work from, I alsoused a 6x4 photo I’d taken and had printed by Snapfish. On this, the colours were richer and thephoto showed the foreground grass in more detail, which was a help.There has been a castle on this spot for over 1,000 years,and it has obviously been altered considerably over the centuries and nowstands as a ruin. The millpond in frontwas actually not particularly still, as millponds are meant to be, but wasrippled by the wind blowing across it. Ihave shown this on my drawing. There isa tidal mill to the side of the castle and I remember buying some soda breadmix from the shop there. I made it upinto individual buns that evening, which smelled delicious but were high fibreto say the least.

Others in the group were progressing with theirdrawings: Kevin with his North Yorkshirescene, Gill with some coiled rope and Karen with a blue tit. She’d added a bit of colour to it here andthere, which was needed to show what type of bird it actually was.
The only problem with being able to produce something soquickly seems to be that I need to decide all too soon what I am going to bedoing next. I now have three Tenby (and near Tenby)scenes, so perhaps there will be one more before I call it a day.
