Bastille Day and striped shirt

 Bastille Day was a great day to be out and about seeing and drawing people...and umbrellas! This one is my contribution to the striped shirt on the scavenger hunt list. There were many striped shirts in evidence on this day. Most with a decidedly French Flair...including our own Linda D's outfit. Tres Bon Linda!

 I did these thumbnails with the idea of trying to capture the site with all of it's busyness, people and umbrellas.

And again another attempt with some color.....

Beaucoup de Bastille Day Sketches

The Bastille Day sketching expedition was a lot of fun. I started off with watercolors, tackling the musicians and one of the ladies listening to the music.

WW Sketchcrawl: Bastille Day

We want to let our Urban Sketcher friends in Santo Domingo know that we were thinking of you as we sketched today. We met some potential future Urban Sketcher members and also several of the people who modeled for us (whether or not they knew it at the time).

Here's today's group, ...

...here are some of our sketches...

and here are some of the racing waiters, who were too quick for most of us (although not for Katura).

We'll post our sketches later. In the meantime, happy sketching from us to you!
