Sketch a day for May

Last year I filled 2 sketch books by making 1 sketch a day in the month of May and August. This allowed me to explore some ideas from pictures I had taken and also to help develop my sketching technique.

This sketch is from a picture I took while I was in London at the Bankside Gallery. Debs and I had stopped in Costa Coffee for a drink when workmen turned up. They sat outside in Falcon Point Plazza where they must have been doing some work. I intend to work this image into a bigger painting. I was attracted to the bright orange overalls in an area that was mainly concrete in colour.

This is how the picture appears in my sketch book.
