Urban Sketching at Farmers Market at Old Poway Park

I went to Old Poway Park with the intent of sketching. Having music while I was Urban Sketching was a treat. I drew the musician with the saxophone first and was going to stop after drawing him but then I decided to fill my page. If I had done more planning I would have put them in their correct positions and scale. I use Winsor and Newton Watercolors with a Paper Mate Flair Pen. I did the drawing first, then filled with paint.

video attempt

I want to start posting videos on my blog. This is my first attempt with my canon ... I tried to take out the sound but I didn't know how. I tried the audio swap on youtube but it turned the video to 10 minutes and took FOREVER to load.

Thurdsay I met with the North County Society of Fine Arts and painted a watercolor. There wasn't very much shade so we didn't stay long. It's still fun painting "en plein air" I put my piece on ebay, you can see it here.

The video is only 1 minute long NOT 9 minutes long.
