Bobbins & Buttons

 On Saturday I joined the South Bay Art Association Sketch Group at the Brookhaven Free Library. Once a month they have been sketching a still life setup. We were supposed to sketch a vintage Singer sewing machine and items to go with it. There was a problem however. The cover of the sewing machine was locked and there was no key available. The member who owns it had it in her storage locker which had been broken into. Whoever broke in took the key and left the sewing machine. Linda didn't realize that once the cover was on it was locked. We played around with it a bit trying to unlock it but we had no success. Luckily Linda had brought along some jars filled with bobbins and buttons. We arranged them into an interesting still life and sketched that.

One Week 100 People Challenge 2018 - Sketch Group & the DMV

This morning the South Bay Art Association Sketch Group met. I did a portrait of Dino, but then did a few quick sketches including Dino, Liz, and Sally. These are sketches $18-21.

Next I headed to a spot I had gone for the last 100 people challenge, the Department of Motor Vehicles in Medford. It was so crowded that I ended up standing against the wall while I did this page of sketches #22-32. You can see other people were standing too. Maybe it was so crowded today because of the weather forecast for tomorrow.

I saw two people get up so I scurried over to take a seat. Sketches #33-48 were done from one of the benches. You would think with all the people that were around me someone would notice I was sketching...apparently not. lol

The weather forecast is for a snowstorm tomorrow so I'm not sure if I will be able get out to sketch people. That made me decide to stay a bit longer and keep sketching. The poor people sitting there were there for a long time and the people around me weren't changing quickly, so I moved to another seat to get a different view. I completed sketches #49-65 there. I'm more than halfway done!!!
