Last week I stopped at Waterdrinker Farm in Manorville. Their tulip festival was going on, but I had no desire to walk out into the field of tulips. Instead I found a wagon filled with flowers.
The Patchogue Sketch Club has been doing some printmaking when we meet. I'm not sure what our project will be but this year our group project for Arts on Terry will involve printmaking. We did these on styrofoam plates and they are about 4 x 6. We drew our designs with ballpoint pens and then flattened the areas that we wanted to have stay white. Most of us were able to do 2 good prints and 2 ghost prints. The hardest part was getting the lettering correct because it has to be the reverse of what the word will be.
I took a ride out to Mattituck last week. I'm always looking for interesting buildings. This is Orlowski Hardware store along Love Lane. I like the wires and the fact that you can see into the store windows and the front door.
The other day I decided it had been too long since I had done a digital sketch outdoors so I grabbed my iPad instead of my sketchbook. I've sketched this view of Weeks Yacht Yard many times but this was the first time I sketched it using Procreate.
I stopped in Mattituck the other day while I was out east. The display in front of Mattituck Florist caught my eye. I sat in my mobile studio across from the florist to sketch.
