Last Saturday I was meeting the NYC Urban Sketchers in the city at 11:00, but of course I went in early. I took the 7:40 train from Ronkonkoma into the city. There were sketching opportunities on the train.
We were meeting at the American Museum of Natural History. It opens at 10:00 and I was there at 9:30. That gave me a little time to do an ink sketch of the building from across Fifth Avenue before I got on the line to get in. I'm glad I was there early because everyone who came at 11:00 ended up waiting on line for about 45 minutes.
Yes, Fake Journal Month started today and I was ready with my first "fake journal" page. You can find Tracy's story here:
Your adventures are intriguing and the sketches keep us along with you. Beautiful. Good luck with the journal. Hope to follow along.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo. You know me...I keep going.
DeleteWhat a super sketch of the entrance to the museum and the statue is just great. Well done, Joan!
ReplyDeleteVal, thanks. I did it without a pencil sketch so it is a little wonky. lol
DeleteSuch great sketches, Joan. I just cannot fathom how you crank out such detail in such a quick time. Been through a couple of your fake journals and you always do such a beautiful job. They always seem so real. Geri, below, looks awesome. A great way to keep one's mind occupied and off the fact people are sketching them!
ReplyDeleteSherry, thanks so much. I've posed for my fellow painters and I know it isn't easy. Reading was a good idea.
DeleteOMG - how many people have the opportunity to draw a genuine dinosaur - I loved seeing them in other post, but to tackle this building with the statue in front...yikes. great job. You continue to amaze.
