One of my favourite picturesque places around the local lake.  I sat here sometime observing two partnered ducks sleeping upon the peg you see here.  After awhile another duck came along and momentarily disturbed their peace. 

I realised the vista was perfect for a photograph and subsequent sketch.

‘From the Fishing Peg’ took me precisely forty minutes from start to finish.

Here is the photograph providing the composition for this sketch:

My sketch includes various techniques I have developed for my artworks. Interestingly, the water is created utilising a ‘fabric patchwork’ structure. There is at least three other personal techniques used within this sketch for the water, trees and foreground.
