Portrait and Strudel

Yes, it is an odd combination, but that's what's up next in my sketch que.

Sam posed recently for my portrait group, but I forgot to post the painting. This was her second time posing for us. Now she's back at school so I don't think we'll be seeing her again too soon.


For the Scavenger Hunt on Wet Canvas I had to sketch a dessert. I don't keep much for dessert in the house, but Jerry and I had been out to dinner and I brought my dessert home for later. Trust me...the strudel looks better than it tasted.

  1. Your sketching group keeps you on your toes, Joan. I enjoyed reading about the portrait in your previous post and seeing the new one here...but it is the strudel which also holds my interest...oh YUM!

    1. Thanks, Julie. My groups do keep me busy. I've done more portraits lately than I've done in my entire life.

  2. Dear Joan - wonderful sketches of Sam and the strudel. I know what you mean about something looking much better than it tastes. Hope your week is off to a blessed start. Hugs!

    1. Debbie, thanks so much! LOL The strudel was a disappointment.

  3. Ha, ha, ha - I can't believe that they managed to ruin strudel; but at least you got a painting out of it. I am wondering if the 10 minute portrait practice you have been doing is making the portraits at the sketch club harder or easier - different approach maybe?

    1. Val, I'm not sure if they are affecting it at all. I usually finish before everyone else and do a quick small sketch too. I just found out there will be 16 people in each group. Yikes!!!

  4. Joan, great sketches. I hate it when you save room for desert and then it is not up to par. I always wish I had had another glass of wine instead! Bummer.
