Urban Sketching

Thanks Sandra! Making friends with it. I am looking forward to opening up the bigger one. I got A6s and A5s. I need to play when it isn’t so hot that the watercolor dries too fast.

Thanks Mary!

Thanks Mary!

Thanks Sandra!

The beauty is, there are so many ways to do it.

My observations are based on my personal “visual note taking” how I call it when there is simply not much time to catch the personality of the people on the train or on the street.

Well, I think I’m really feeling comfortable with them now.

Thank you Sandra.

Thank you, that’s a good thing.

Thank you Sandra 😊

Thank you Mary, you can tell I had fun 😊

Thank you 😊. I just made another one like that. Yesterday I added the cover to the textblock, now it’s curing. Later I’ll add the inner pocket and the closing band.

Thank you Mary 😊

Thank you 😊 I didn’t make that many pictures with my phone though 😊

Thank you Sandra ❤️

Oh wow 😲. Thank you 🙏Carlie.

Yes, I really like the line work and the color choices 👍

Very nice.

Thank you Sandra.

Thank you Karen, that reminds me, I have to do a flip through of this sketchbook, I filled during this month.

It was fun and a challenge for me. No matter how old you get mother’s comments about perspective can still float through your head from when you were little. I tackled it. 😉

Thanks Sandra!

Thanks Mary!

Thanks

Thanks Sandra, I walked around downtown and found this shady alleyway. The building is a pharmacy and my husband is still working as a pharmacist so I had a go at it. It was fun as long as I took it bit by bit and didn’t let the little voice freak out about all the details. Good practice in a sketchbook.

Thanks Mary!

I set in a place without too much traffic. It was fine, a good first attempt and peaple mostly just walked by. A few commented on how nice it was that I was there. I think in this town they are used to seeing people sketching because of the active art group they have.

Thanks Sandra!

Thanks Mary!

Thank you. Most of the time I had a wider timeframe for my sketches.

Thank you Mary 😊

Writing and sketching often goes together. Well I often participated in Camp NaNoWriMo during working on my projects.

Thank you 😊. It’ll be in German unfortunately. First I have to edit still about 80‘000 words.

Thank you Sandra. Good to hear. I almost finished my here shown monsterbook. Only one spread left for today.

Thank you, I had fantastic inspiration and also time to sketch 😊
