Skyline Blues

Today's event for the NYC Urban Sketchers was to "Paint the Color Blue." I used a combination of a city skyline photo which I played with a bit and a lot of imagination.

Sketching and Knitting

At the NYC Urban Sketchers holiday party each of the sketchers were given a long sheet of watercolor paper to sketch something that they saw at the party. All the pages were collected and will be assembled into a book of sketches from our day. I sketched some of the people in front of me...Julie who was sketching, Susan (Mark's wife) who is not a sketcher but is a knitter, another sketcher, and Mark who was talking to Patricia. I was hoping to do the city skyline too but the sun was setting too quickly to do more than a simple wash and a suggestion of buildings for the background.
