Thus far I’m very lucky the Dutch weather is cooperating with my plans to draw outside.
Sun shining, temperatures around 27°C (80,6°F), it’s amazing!
Next week will be around 19°C (66,2°F) with possibly rain so I feel a bit pressured to push
myself these last days of summer…

Today I didn’t have much time to venture out and draw so I just sat on my balcony and drew
the neighbour's cat and the shed it always sleeps on.

This peaceful drawing does not convey the small disaster that happened right before I
started this drawing.
I dropped my beloved Pentel Aquash Water Brush in the water!
I was having a small brake, put down my brush, I looked away for a second and it started
rolling, fell on the wooden bridge I had chosen as my workspace and slipped through the
cracks! With a small splash it landed in the water!
I first feared I had lost my brush forever but soon noticed it floating under the bridge, right
in the middle. Panicky I tore a reed from the ground and started poking at the brush.
Slowly it moved to the side of the bridge. I moved to the side of the bridge and lying flat on
my belly I used the reed to move it towards me and that’s how I got it back.

Here’s the do over from yesterday. I left this version much more open which gives it a more
clear look. It still could use some tinkering but for now on to new sites!
