The Boootiful Welsh Vaalleeeys

I am in sunny Aberystwyth on this day. I LOVE WALES!
Visiting my brother for a couple of days to bring him home, back to the flat land that is Lincolnshire. If I was him I would be begging not to go home, it's well lush 'ere innit!
I've been passing my time 'researching' for the seaside project. To be honest it's been a slow burner recently, so a trip to the seaside was long overdue and very helpful. I've spent the whole day at the beach, drawing and painting the scenes and the characters out and about. (Note- Must be more discreet when drawing people; the point is not to scare the subject away.)

There is an array of vibrant characters in the town as I've discovered. One fully decked out punk played a beat on some bongos and 'sang' while his mate in a brown, flannel tracksuit danced crazily down the seafront. I couldn't stop laughing, which when you are a girl drawing on a bench on your bill, is definitely a good way of attracting strange men to sing at you! hahaha

  Here are some photos from today:
