Bates Nut Farm Scarecrow Contest

I attended an event at the Bates Nut Farm with the San Diego Urban Sketchers today. Many of us drew the scarecrows during the scarecrow contest. I created my sketch with a brush pen and watercolor.

 This is a 3:09-minute video of the event showing the scarecrows, the artists, and their sketches.

North County Society of Fine Arts Paint Out

The NCSFA had their sketch and paint out at Bates Nut Farm in Valley Center, California. It was fun taking pictures of the farm animals and sketching the horse farm next door. These are sketches from my sketchbook.




This sketch was done in preparation for my daily painting.

I started to do some thumnails next to the barn page but we ended up talking about perspective and drawing faces. Pencil with watercolor.








The turkey was a beautiful black and white. Any color at all on him showed up nicely. Rotring pen. Red, orange and gray marker.
