Inside in the Blizzard

The timing of the blizzard was perfect. I was inside because of the snow the previous day. Several friends had been taking part sketching quick portraits over Zoom. A woman (Chloe from Paris) organizes the event and people join in from all over the world. The models are other sketchers and each pose is limited to the length of the song being played, somewhere between 2 1/2- 5 minutes. Because the poses are so short you need to work in a medium that you can finish in that short amount of time. I used my Neocolors which worked out OK. 

Here is what the snow looked like out my opened garage door...lots of drifts.

I had Jerry take a photo of me in the morning standing in the snow on the patio wearing my "think summer" sweatshirt that my sister, Michelle had made for me many years ago. It is a bit big but it sends the right message. lol

Bridge View & Sketchbook Revival

I was at a park on the Great South Bay in Islip the other day and had this view of the bridge going to Robert Moses State Park. 

I sketched a boulder for the Creative Spark scavenger hunt.

Carla Sonheim did a lesson for Sketchbook Revival on Stylized Zoom Portraits. We used credit cards to do background tones for the boxes and then drew the people in ink. Each box harmonizes with the other boxes in the group because each color had to be used in at least one place in each box. Although we weren't going for actual realistic portraits mine do resemble each person a bit.
