A relaxing sunny afternoon in the open air, with a newspaper and a glass of wine. Not bad.
I sketched him with mechanical pencil on Sunday and went back over it with a couple brush pens late on Monday, adding the background in from memory.

Great spontaneous sketch at the Farmer’s Market. He’s definitely quite the character.
