From My Car

 For the current Scavenger Hunt on CreativeSpark.art the list to sketch included a figure and multiple figures and well as a vehicle. I sat in a spot at the Sayville Boat Basin and noticed I could get several items all from that spot. I started with the car next to me where a man was sitting...vehicle and figure done!

Then I noticed a few people standing on the dock. There were more but a few moved on. I was able to catch these two.

People and the Lighthouse

I have been doing a Craftsy class with James Richards called "Sketching the Energy of Places." He gives several lessons on incorporating figures into sketches and doing crowds of people too. Following his advice I did this sketch along the boardwalk going to the Fire Island Lighthouse last weekend. It was a nice day so the boardwalk was packed. I was happy with the way this came out. It was the first time I was in a location that I could do a crowd of people since I started the class.
