Portland Art Museum & Lan Su Garden

This is my first drawing using my new Noodler's Flex Pen. Linda E. and I were downtown on a Monday and since we couldn't get into Portland Art Museum we decided to take advantage of a good break in the weather and sketch in the sculpture court.

 Here I am experimenting again with the Flex Pen and a new brown ink from Noodler's (Kiowa). Later after I got home I applied some water to the ink to see what would happen....possibilities?
 At the Lan Su Garden I choose not to enter the garden but to draw from the outside. The day being sunny and warm I sought out shade to sit in while drawing the wonderful shadow patterns on the walls of the garden.

    I love how you captured the play of shadows on the walls of the garden. What a wonderful way to spend the afternoon, appreciating shadow patterns on an unusually sunny day!

    Sorry I was not able to make the outing afterall. Thanks so much for sharing, Deb. Like Katura, I like the shadow work as well.

    You made some really nice sketches from the outside, Deb. I especially like the last one with the intricate architectural details, the branches and the shadows. Must have been challenging!

    Thanks Katura, Mike and Vicky. On the whole I enjoy our weather in Portland but I do miss those shadows! It was a lovely day and I enjoyed meeting up with everyone...this is what sketching fun is all about.
