Portraits sketched today

No portraits today, just a memory sketch

Sketching Portraits again!

I haven't sketched a portrait in ages so I thought I'd give it another go today on my train ride back from work.

Outside Langhams Hotel (Royal Parade) Eastbourne, sits a rather eye catching Victorian bathing machine. For those who don't know, these machines/carts were used in victorian times to allow people to wade in the sea at beaches without violating victorian notions of modesty!

I believe this Curzon Cinema is the original cinema of Eastbourne and is the only one left in the town centre. Amazingly it has survived the arrival of the more modern cinemas that sit outside of the town. Hopefully it will continue to survive and show films for many more years to come!
