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.
great sketch! You have talent!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Sandi!
DeleteI went through your blog Joan!!! I have missed so much of your work .....ALL wonderful as always. Your figure work is terrific in this one.....
ReplyDeleteHilda, thanks. It is nice to know you looked at what you missed. I hope you are feeling better.
DeleteThe skyline is perfect. It is there as a backdrop. The figures are so great. Applause!
ReplyDeleteJo, thanks. I guess if I had done a detailed background it would have taken away from the figures too much.
DeleteThis is great Joan - a wonderful way to commemorate the event.
ReplyDeleteGreat sketch and info on the people and I especially love the way you painted the glass windows. Perfect!
