Muscat, Oman RESULTS
For this special 25th SketchCrawl, and for my 2nd, here in Oman we were 2 sketchers. We had to crawl on Friday as we work on Saturdays and wanted the opportunity to sketch as much as possible. We started at 9.30am and finished during lunch around 2.30. First a picture of us Muscat SketchCrawlers:
This was taken at the second location of the day. We haven't had a fight... I was sketching a building, whilst Mark sketched a boat and the sea. FYI I don't normally dress like this, but it is a conservative Omani village, and we were there at the time of Friday prayers, so I covered up.
I am posting on behalf of Mark his sketches. Inspired by me, he was using pen for the first time with great results I think.
Mark at our first location
His 1st drawings
At 2nd location
Finally, we drew over lunch at the marina.
We both agreed, we should have spent more days like this.

Re: Muscat, Oman RESULTS
Here are my results for the day, I am especially pleased with the first drawing.
I thought I'd do some details:
Me sketching the barnacled anchor
I was using a different sketchbook to normal and discovered it doesn't take watercolour, so this was my only colour sketch of the day.
We both drew this gate
Then we moved on to Harmel a little fishing village. I took lots of photos of the kids playing in the sea and on the beach, and did a couple of quick drawings. Then, settled to draw this old house and following the recent USk theme, I sketched some more power lines.
Finally,I drew these over lunch. A man talking at the next table
and the British Ambassador's residence.
It was a fabulous day drawing, although I was very tired afterwards, I am very happy with the results.
I don't know which country I will be in for the next sketchcrawl, but I am already looking forward to it and I think Mark will continue here in Muscat.
