Bit too windy to sit outside and sketch today during lunch...so pb&j and pencils looking out of my North facing office window. My view is from a building on Colorado and 7th st. The view is looking to the NE corner of Colorado and 8th st. The shadowed doorways across the street belong to the Amsterdam Cafe'. The sunlit building is the Municipal Building.

Caught a set of Guy Forsyth followed by Nakia and His Southern Cousins...always a great set! I particularly like the relatively huge size of the band (10ft at least) as well as the mammoth hugging couple in the middle. Was sitting up closer to the stage when I drew those figures...so....Doh....proportions be damned...!

April 11, 2009 participated in the World Wide Sketch Crawl while in SoCo, Austin Tx. SketchCrawl.com broadcasts drawing marathons from around the world with artists meeting and drawing in more than 90 locations worldwide on announced dates.




Perched on the back of the mobile plein air studio "Serenity" (a Dragonfly class hyper drive stealth transport retrofitted for art supply reallocation :). She is protection from the elements, roadside accommodations, and perfect for scouting and setting sketch base camps in urban and back country locales.

Three quick studies with an eye toward establishing values and composition rather than detail. I think I'll begin to experiment more with pen line and ink wash for value studies and sketches in general.
