5″X3″ Marker on paper Another one for the Urban Sketchers Flickr group. Actually I feel like a bit of a fraud presenting Niagara-on-the-Lake pictures as “urban”, it is such a very small town. However, it is the best I can come up with right now as that is where I am every day. I got a window [...] 7″X5.5″ Marker on Paper In Starbucks again on the weekend, I lucked out and got an armchair. I really need to practise these quick figure studies more, I am not good at the moving targets. Tonight I tried to sketch at the guitar concert but just as I was getting into it the lights went out. [...] 5.5″X7″Marker on paper Every bar, café, restaurant and bistro has a table close to the kitchen where the staff hang out. Once it would have had an over-full ashtray and a cigarette left smouldering or carefully extinguished to be lit again. Here sits the chef, making a list of supplies needed, planning next week’s menu or writing [...] 3.5″X5.5″ Marker on paper J. did his annual faculty concert at Brock U. today. I actually managed to get there for the first time in about ten years. I wimped out on the hands, the rest was pretty easy, a sitting target in fact. For any locals out there, there will be a wonderful concert at St Barnabas [...] 5.5″X7″ Marker on paper I love drawing winter trees, they are both a challenging and a forgiving study. It is easy to get lost in the detail, but it doesn’t really matter too much if you do.

I found the blog first and immediately fell in love with the incredible variety of contributors from all over the world. Membership is by invitation only and the calibre of work is high. I soon realized that there is also a Flickr group, which [...] 7″X5″ marker on paper I apologise for the paucity of my offerings lately. I have a bad case of the January blahs. I am sick and tired of drawing from photographs, painting or drawing outside is completely out of the question when it is -10-15C and I really don’t do well with artificial light. I need some [...] 7″X5.5″ Marker on Moleskin I try to swim three times a week. It is very hard to get motivated when it is -13C out there but I reward myself with a tall latte on my way home. I don’t always find somewhere to sit but when I do I try to find something to add to my [...] 5″X7″ Marker on paper Still having difficulty finding my muse. This is left over from a New [...] 5″X7″ Marker on paper The weather is about as vile as it gets. Hovering close to freezing with alternate snow and rain, turning the roads into slush and then ice, and back to slush again. Walking wasn’t much fun either when I went out for [...] |
