Belated Conjunction

[MarkRadice]

After a strange year working from home months on end, home schooling children, a family bereavement, a broken foot and finally being managed out of a job, it was rather a pleasure to watch December's conjunction - the last time I did some observing!

I have finally got round to sorting out my sketches and iPhone snaps (having stupidly left my DSLR memory card in my laptop!) and made a short YouTube video: 

 

I also put more details in my seldom-updated blog : http://www.refreshingviews.com/jupiter-saturn-conjunction-december-2020/

 

Enjoy and stay safe!

Nice job Mark. I hope 2021 is better for you.

Very nice to watch Mark and I like the sketch. Most of the very same things happened to me in 2020, barring the home-schooling and broken foot.

Quick question ... do you sketch black on white (why does auto correct ALWAYS try to begin that last word with an ”s”???) then reverse colour, or white on black?

Good luck for the new year...

Cheers, Magnus

Hi all - thank you for your kind words.

Magnus - I simply sketch with graphite propelling pencil on white notebook, scan it in and invert with judicious use of cloning.
