Night sketching

Okay, night sketching was too hard. Or maybe I found the subject too challenging. Here are my attempts (I discovered once I was home that I ended up using green rather than gray on my first sketch of the night.)

  1. Nice attempt. I was trying to figure out how to sketch/paint the holiday lights. Not successful. Merry Christmas to you!

  2. I totally agree with your statement on night drawing...this was a big challenge but because of or in spite of it maybe your results are really interesting.

  3. You know what, I really love your drawing where the sky is green rather than gray. It's one of those "goofs" that really looks very purposeful! Reminds me of the super-stylized header of the main USK website. Thanks for sharing, that's fun food for thought!

In late July of 2010, the city of Portland, Oregon (USA), became a canvas for drawing enthusiasts from around the world as Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) and Urban Sketchers (USK) hosted the 1st International Urban Sketching Symposium. The three-day event attracted participants and presenters from diverse corners of the world. In addition to the U.S., other countries represented were Australia, Belgium, Canada, Mauritania, Italy, Japan, Singapore, the Dominican Republic and Spain. The program consisted of lectures, panels, exhibits and field sketching sessions led by a diverse team of international presenters with backgrounds in art education, architecture, illustration and journalism. This blog documents the experience since the Symposium was announced in March. A selection of photographs from the event can be found in this flickr collection. Sketches produced by participants during the event can also be seeing on the Symposium flickr group.
