NCSFA Sketch and Paint Out June 20th

It was a great day for sketching at the zoo.








The San Diego Museum of Art

had an Andy Warhol silk screen exhibit.

AND I found out I sold a piece at the

San Diego Museum of Living Artists-
San Diego Art Institute!

EDM Challenge #1 Draw a shoe

This is Every Day Matters Challenge number 1, Draw a Shoe.

I drew it twice because of the tiny ankle hole.

I don't know why I drew the top so tiny.

Self Portrait Marathon Part 3

I just woke up.

On June 13, Self Portrait #2 I did a computer drawing and stated I liked "real" drawing better. I traced a photo for my computer drawing and it's a personal thing for me. I didn't get the same feeling when I traced the photo. My guts weren't really in the process. I didn't feel like I was really drawing. I want to clarify that I believe that the computer is a valid tool for drawing, and it is just that, another tool such as a pencil, pen or brush.

San Diego County Fair

My piece "Car Troubles" was in the
Funky and Fun Section of the Art Exhibit

Open Mike Night at the Coffee Shop

Benjamin Franklin

Drawings while watching a Benjamin Franklin documentary.

Self Portrait Marathon Part 2

I think I like "real" drawing better.

Court House Sketches

The gardner,the security police,
in the jury waiting room,
the patio cafe.

When sketching in public places I usually sit with my back against a wall
so people can't peek from behind me.

Do you see the little picture on the left, in the box?
I was drawing the security police when this lady with a baby
walked right up to me, practically touching my sketchbook with her stomach,

SMACK DAB in front of me.
She started reading the bulletin board above my head.
I felt a little uncomfortable . . . . .well . . . .very.

SELF Portrait Marathon

Here is the entry I drew for the self portrait maration. OOOPs,
I don't think it's really a portrait. I'll do a REAL one soon.
DARN!

just food

Automotive Waiting Room

Not much to draw in the waiting room.
I'm thirsty.

A good phone call.

Sketch and Paint Out

These are sketches from the NCSFA Sketch and Paint Out. There were 2 of us this time. I had a rectangle of beige on a sketch book page, painted about a month ago - for no apparent reason, This turned out to be a good back drop for the sketch of the pond, hills and houses. I also sketched a few sleeping ducks and just like people, they moved right after I started the sketch!
