A small group of five made it to Lone Fir Cemetery on Saturday. The day was perfect for sitting under the trees and sketching.

I am pretty fascinated by this Macleay mausoleum and wanted to make another attempt at it (first was on 7/24/2010). In comparison the previous sketch shows more of the structure but this one is closer in feeling, I think.

Thanks for organizing this sketching trip, it was a lovely day to explore this little verdant gem in the city. I love the watercolor sketch of the Macleay mausoleum especially, there's a cheerfulness to the brushstrokes somehow!
ReplyDeleteCheerful....really?? Maybe I was smiling while I painted.
ReplyDeleteI think something about the big round shapes of the individual brushstrokes coming through so clearly is what made it feel cheerful to me. Probably a function of the small scale of the paper more than whether or not you were grinning as you painted--but that "dab dab dab" motion totally comes through in a way that makes me happy.
DeleteDeb, you really captured the dappled sunlight in the cemetery. I especially like the two wide spreads.
