Riverhead Farm & 100 People Completed

My plein air group went out to a farm in Riverhead on Tuesday. It was hot and I had to hide under my painting umbrella for some shade to do this view.


Today at the beach I completed my sketches for #oneweek100peoplesymposium. In fact I did more than 103 because I lost count.





I started organizing my supplies for the Urban Sketching Symposium in Chicago. I leave on Tuesday but am really procrastinating. I did get some supplies ready...now I have to decide how many and which sketchbooks to take.

    Great sketches on your 100 people! Congrats on completing the challenge. :)
    I think we are getting a bit of hot weather practice for the symposium.

    I, too, have been procrastinating. Probably could have been packed by now. Tina and I are both looking forward to sketching with you at last! See you there!

      Thanks, Michele. I try to never pack too early since I keep changing my mind and putting things in and taking things out. See you in Chicago.

      Thank you, Jo. I'll post here and on FB as long as I have wi-fi and my iPad cooperates.

      Hilda, you are right. They are disappearing too fast. Thanks.

    Super job on the farm sketch Joan - it is so hard to do watercolour when it is so hot as there is so little blending time. I had to laugh when you said you had lost count of your people sketches as I wondered the other day how you kept track. Good job all round - have fun at the symposium.

      I tried to keep a tally on the top of the page to help keep count, but even that didn't help much. Thanks.

    Dear Joan - the sketch of Riverhead Farm is super. As for your 100 people I had know doubt that you would reach your goal in plenty of time. Hope you have a lovely trip to Chicago. Take care and enjoy your visit to the windy City. Hugs!

      Thanks so much Debbie. This will be my first trip to Chicago, but I know I will be in good company.
