Great Rusty pre-dinner moment; he got @RichardBratby’s attention by somehow wriggling into the curtain loop and then couldn’t get out.

Like many of you, I am disgusted with people using AI to write any kind of text, but I am even more annoyed to see educated people, with doctoral degrees, well-paid tenured faculty positions, who allegedly have two brain cells, using AI to created ugly, pathetic visual images.

What I ate at my favourite Korean restaurant last night.

@ManiPillai1886 Thanks! Yes sometimes - though here I used waterproof fine-liner pen, water soluble crayons and a water brush/pen.

@AnnetteRubery Rain on leaves does look nice. The drops on this Solomon's Seal in our garden caught my eye too.

It’s a cliche to say the rain was spattered on leaves like diamonds, but that’s what I thought when I walked through the park at lunchtime.

@andrewpconnell @RichardBratby Thank you! Yes, a watercolour wash in pale yellow and then a mixture of waterproof pens - a Faber-Castell fine liner and a Uniball Eye pen.

@AnnetteRubery @RichardBratby I like thesr, hadn't thought of preparing the sketchbook like that. What are you drawing in, ink?

My day. With apologies to @RichardBratby for making him look like he’s out of a Robert Crumb comic.

Prepared these sketchbook pages with a watercolour wash - will be doing some tiny drawings this week. Starting with coffee in my mug from Stykkishólmur, Iceland.

@RichardBratby @LSHMWAH Because he played Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, which was shot at Chatsworth. As Richard well knows!

@ManiPillai1886 Haha! He hasn’t got much choice - he’s my model whether he likes it or not, 🐈

Practicing figure drawing and capturing tonal values via a statue seen at Chatsworth yesterday.

@GothicKeats Highly recommend! You can view Charlotte Brontë and Dickens’s letters - and a room devoted to Byron and Lady Caroline Lamb.

This looks to be an excellent exhibition currently on at Chatsworth! Besides the gorgeous photos below, including that gloriously illuminated Petrarch (Georgiana’s copy?), there are also 'first and early editions' of Jane Austen, Lord Byron, Charles Dickens, and Charlotte Brontë.

Stupendous exhibition of books and letters at Chatsworth atm, including Paddy Leigh Fermor’s personally inscribed copy (to Debo) of Between the Woods and the Water - complete with a drawing of a Romanian sweep well.
