The Patchogue Sketch Club was meeting, but the forecast was once again for rain so we moved to an indoor location. I brought along some fruit to use for sketching and Mark and Teresa sketched it too.
For the sketch above I used a sketchbook I had bought in Venice. It is leather and had paper that I was told was watercolor paper. It is a bit textured and absorbs the watercolor as well as the ink. Some of it shows on the back side of the paper. I don't think it has a lot of sizing like our paper here usually does.
Jerry and I celebrate Cinco de Mayo with tacos from The Fat Boy Burrito Company in Patchogue. Luckily I decided to do take-out and called ahead. There was a line outside. The food is very good!
What a great idea bringing fruit for still lives at Starbucks! Otherwise, most Starbucks tend to all look alike. LOL! And what colorful burritos!
ReplyDeleteI needed a change since we were there so recently.
DeleteThanks.
Joan each of these sketches are so eye catching. The bright veggies looks wonderful on that blue checkerboard towel and the burritos look excellent. That lime slice at the bottom ads to the color and I bet to the flavor too. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie. I could have used a margarita to go with those tacos. lol Have a great week!!
