I managed to draw one thing today in a brand new sketchbook. I learned a few things about my markers. Like, it's better to start with the light colors.
In the past month or so, I've gone to the Fields park a few times with some other sketchers. I mostly sketched from inside Ovation. Lots of people, quick sketching, trying to fill up the sketchbook.
A few weeks ago, I went with Drink and Draw to ^H, a new hacker space at 7600 N. Interstate. After drawing some people, I started drawing the fun geeky stuff they have there.
Mission accomplished - that sketchbook is full!
Love your landscape in colored markers! The strong shadows speak to the bright sunny day and add such drama to the composition. I kind of like the bleeding that happens where the pale green overlaps the gray, actually--softening it in a potentially interesting/useful way, once one expects that effect? Great seeing you today!
ReplyDeleteNice work there has been some good sketching weather in Portland recently! I am a urban sketcher/ watercolor artist in Portland and hope to meet up for one of the sketch outings
