Sydney Opera House

After a good night’s sleep I headed out this morning to sketch the Sydney Opera House. I waked about 25 minutes to get there and another 10 to find a decent sketch spot. Lots of young kids stopped by to watch me paint. They are always fascinated and ask questions.



Next I walked over to an area called “the rocks” and looked for a place to sit and have lunch. I saw signs for a craft and food fair that takes place there on Fridays. I went ang sat where a put was playing the guitar and singing. I also had a view of a play area with fake grass, building blocks, buckets and games. There were chairs for the adults. I sketched r
The play area first and don’t you know the musician stopped before I could sketch him, so I included some of the market vendors too.

  2. I like the point of view you chose for the Sydney Opera House and the story behind these sketches. Can't wait to see your next entry(ies)! BTW, your images came enlarged this time. Have you figured out a way yet with your iPad and Blogspot?

    1. I have to work through Chrome and click the three dots at the top and select “request desktop site.” It sometimes gives me the option of resizing. Thanks!
