I want to visit this street, somewhere in Spain!

I'm creating a drawing a day, for two years, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.

Today's drawing is a street in Spain - I got very interested in drawing this!
Today's tip: Work out what is important, you don't have to use every colour, you don't have to draw every window, what HELPS it look better or say more?

Sorrento, Australia

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it. Today's is Sorrento Back beach (the surf beach side) if I win the lottery I'm going straight back here! #drawingadayclub #kirsteenlyonsartThis is Sorrento in the mornington peninsula, Melbourne. Near Jasmine's grand parents house. It has two beaches. A sheltered beach bay side, and a surf beach on the side of the sea. The town is full of surf shops and tamed windswept people who call their flip flops "thongs".

Abu Dhabi, escape British February!

This is Abu Dhabi. It's so so so hot you think your standing in the blast from a jet engine the whole day long! I got a real fright when a fish nibbled my foot! Those foot spas you get...I was not paid up or ready, and I nearly jumped clean out of two meters of water warmer than your last sauna! I'm thinking of doing a whole set of beaches I wish I was back at instead of in Britain in February! #drawingadayclub #kirsteenlyons #kirsteenlyonsart

Fish

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.

Today's are carp.

I love them they are beautiful but not very nice to eat, especially jellied cold and whole, but if you guest with a Polish family at Christmas, and they go to the trouble of keeping live fish in the bath for a week, just to insure you get the local traditional food totally fresh, you find a way to eat it and smile!

I also don't recommend naming them when you decant them into a bucket to wash, it really does make eating them harder, for the record they all had good Scottish names like Jimmy and Jinty!

Singapore very early in the morning.

Have you traveled much? Where would you like to see?

Today's is Singapore very early in the morning. I was only here 24 hours and I had my daughter in the pushchair, I would like to go back.

At this time in the morning all the shopkeepers are out cleaning the street in front of their shop, and I don't just mean giving it a sweep, they wash it with buckets of soapy water and scrub it until it's cleaner than some peoples kitchens! And you can't buy chewing gum because that would mess it up again!

Europe in a camper van!

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.

Today's is one of my dreams. My family and I are planning to take a year out and explore Europe in 2019.

We have this huge map in our bedroom and we all add arrows and dots when we find out about some place we want to add to the tour. I've included a picture of the map.

What are you dreaming of?
