I had hoped to sketch with a Sydney Urban Sketcher this morning but due to the weather we canceled. Instead I sketched the view out the apartment window.
The weather seemed to have cleared up so I walked to Darling Harbour. I decided to do a composite page first sketching the James Craig sailing vessel. Of course I got all set up and It started to rain. I scooted under a stairway so I was covered to work on the sketch. Then I added in the red boat that was also part of the Australian National Maritime Museum. I still had space left for a few bird sculptures that were part of the Dancing Brolga Fountain designed by Terrance Plowright. I did a double page spread.
I went over to the park to relax but there were these fountains with kids and I couldn’t resist,
I really like the composite sketches and that RED boat added punch to the double spread. Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI like doing comps like this if there is enough to draw. It was a very busy, touristy place. Thanks!
DeleteThat is an awesome painting of Darling Harbor. The many layers give it great depth.
ReplyDeleteI guess the weather there is unpredictable and changeable! Your montage of vignettes is really nice -- like a visual journal of your day. I always tell myself I'd like to do more of those when I travel, but then when I'm there, I forget. It's a lovely way to quickly cover a lot of different things you see in a new place and want to remember.

I forget about doing them too, but the capture the place well when I think of it. Thanks!
DeleteRain or shine you still manage to do a great job and share. I really like the sketch of the rigging - very cool!. Thanks for sharing Joan!
ReplyDeleteVal, thanks. It was a bit complicated.
DeleteNeither rain, nor sleet, nor snow can deter our Joan -- no, no, that's the post man. Sorry you didn't get sketch with your group as I am sure you would have had many new friends. Wonderful glimpses
ReplyDeleteI didn’t have my mobile studio to hide in. Lol Thanks!
