Plaid bridges
Dear Sarah - Day 129 of our daily drawing exchange
May 29, 2025
Hi Nikki,
Great session today--feeling optimistic about finishing the book before I'm on your doorstep.
As promised, here's the straight line exercise turned into a plaid--or maybe it's a check. A Tattersall check, perhaps. Anyway, that's my drawing of the day. Must now forage for food and go for a walk!

Hello!
Yes - agree it does feel as though we are getting toward the end of the book - which should mean a productive visit when you are here but without feeling as though we need to work on it every minute of every day.
I warned you that there might be bridges in the future… here’s the Railway Bridge here in Canmore. I snapped a photo on my home this afternoon (from a bike ride to the grocery store and farmer’s market) and as I sat down to draw realized what a brilliant subject if one wanted to practice on-point perspective. I think I’d like to take a notebook to this spot and try to sketch live… we could do that together, actually - it isn’t far from where we live.
I’m thinking of doing a bridge/zine trial here this summer - and then the full project focussed on the 37 bridges of Paris. Not sure how far I will have got with my thinking before you get here…
Until tomorrow -
Nikki
