Last Wednesday the Patchogue Sketch Club had Rotary Park in Sayville as our location for the evening. The Lazy Bunny Ukulele Band was playing. We saw them last year and sketched them. Since I had sketched the whole band the last time I decided to sketch the crowd instead. As soon as I pulled out my sketchbook a very light drizzle started falling and some of my ink lines immediately started to bleed. You can see that in the 3 people that were in front of my. I didn't care. I was going to sketch. Most of the ink lines ended up being OK, but as I started to add watercolor the drizzle got heavier. It gave a bit of a watery look to the foliage and the grass. I know two of the other sketchers did some sketching too, but I think they stopped before it got so wet. I sort of like the effect. By the way, the band was fun!
I like the rainy look! Here in Seattle, we say that the raindrops are the DNA of the region embedded into the sketch! 🙂
ReplyDeleteLOL That's a good way to think about it. Luckily it didn't ruin the whole thing. Thanks for looking!
DeleteI remember you talking about the Ukelele band before. Sounds fun. I absolutely love the rainy sketch. Perfect water drops.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo. Someday I'm going to actually paint the rain coming down...paint it, not experience it. lol
