Over the weekend, I decided to go to the "Pinewood Studios" outside of London, famous film studios (James Bond, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...) in beautiful English countryside (Buckinghamshire). The only thing I managed to see is the big high fence and some huge warehouses. Anyway, here are the little watercolour I did there, I parked on the side of a beautiful road (you can see my scooter in front of the cars) and tried to cacth the beautiful light through the leaves.
Back in London, I came accross this rather strange "traffic light tree" in Canary Wharf. Crazy metal tree, with probably 50 traffic lights on it, in the middle of a roundabout, I liked the fact that it was next to an actual organic tree... and that I didn't understand when I was allowed to go through!
A sketch of the Thames Barrier, it looks like a sci-fi movie, there are 8 or 9 huge concrete with metal roof constructions on the river, amazing!

Hey Stef,
That middle image is killer! I really dig the way you treat leaves. Gosh. Good news.

Sweet! That's the coolest yet most confusing signal i've ever seen. I like the way you handled the leaves too.
That's superb Steph ! Love the simplicity and yet, still plenty of information to see what's going on. That takes skill !
Thank you guys! I'm using a pen brush for the leaves, I like the way it's giving you loose lines.
Hey Stef, cool sketches today. It's great that you discovered such interesting sights on your travels & stopped to get them down. So often I see such sights but let them pass - plus having a digital camera makes it too tempting just to photograph something quickly. It's best to act on instinct & stop & draw it.
Thanks Matt, true it's easy to take a picture, but so nice to stop and give your own interpretation of a place.
Love your style. You're killer with that brush pen. Keep crank'in it out. The line work is just amazing.
Thanks Gerald for your nice words, really appreciate it!
