Public Space Sketch

 It was an absolutely glorious day today.  About 80º F when I was sketching.  I sat on the pillar support and sketched while Gene was in PT.

Number 4 public space - I sketched in the Ohuhu sketchbook with an Ohuhu .5 pen and watercolors.  I was pleased with the cars for the most part.  I'm not usually too happy with my cars as they don't resemble the actual vehicle.  I like the first, second and fourth, left to right.  The third car ended up looking like a "kit" car or revamped in some way with the tire so large.  I also didn't color the passenger side tire .. maybe it was flat and colorless.  Yeah, right.  It was a very low slung sedan in silver and quite a lovely little car.   Always a surprise when you don't see things until you add color.

Joan Tavolott mentioned that she always tries to sketch what will be moving out of her sketch first.  Great idea.  I decided I better sketch the cars before someone parked in front of me or  the cars moved.  No one parked until I was just finishing the last and then they only stayed about 5 minutes and came and moved.  The parked sketch models stayed.  Thanks, Joan.

If you haven't looked at Joan's blog in a while you should head on over.  She and spouse just got back from Venice where they were for a month so her sketches this past month show beautiful scenes in the area.  Love the old walls, arches and gondolas ... and more.  Have fun.
