Recent sketches out and about

This past Wednesday I went out with my sketch club to sketch at the local bowling alley. Yesterday, I went into the city to sketch with the NYC Urban Sketchers. We were sketching several alleged haunted houses. The first one is a Colonial style home that was once a speakeasy. It is the home ofContinue reading “Recent sketches out and about”

Inktober Days 13 to 23

I have been busy working on a few things so I haven’t been posting much. However, I have been doing my daily Inktober sketches and posted them on Sktchy….most of them are 5 minute timed sketches done first thing in the morning. Enjoy! This pie is actually day 20.

Inktober sketches Days 6 – 12

I haven’t been posting these daily because I’d rather post them as a group. Most of these Inktober sketches are 5 minute sketches except for the Breakfast Crawl sketch that I snapped a photo of before I added watercolor to it. I start my sketches by checking the Inktober prompt for the day thatContinue reading “Inktober sketches Days 6 – 12”

Some recent sketches

I have been working on a project that I don’t wish to post just yet. In the meantime, here are some sketches I did recently. This one was an experiment that didn’t come out as intended, but I am content with the result. This next sketch is a haiku sketch where you only have 7Continue reading “Some recent sketches”

Irma

Well Paint the Great South Bay is a wrap. It went very well and I even made it on the cover of our local newspaper. We sold paintings, we got tacos and ice cream for sketches, whose better than us? Now I am on my way to Chincoteague to participate in their plein airContinue reading “Irma”

Eclipse day sketch

Sketched this in Princeton today. I didn’t expect a crowd today but people seemed to be congregating from all over to watch the eclipse. I thought the kids were back to school until I found out that Princeton doesn’t start until September. Some very nice people let me view the eclipse through their glasses. ItContinue reading “Eclipse day sketch”

Alive After Five #4 2017

This evening was the last Alive After Five for the season….there was no model this evening so I was finally able to sketch this purple truck…..I meant to add more people to the sketch but it got dark pretty quickly….it isn’t a food truck, it’s clothes on wheels….

Rainy Day Sketch

The weather here has been cool for August and today was a tad chilly but it was also rainy and damp. Not much of a day for sitting outside to sketch so I worked on some things in my studio. This evening, John and I went out to have coffee and I sketched at theContinue reading “Rainy Day Sketch”

Today’s sketch from Main Street

I don’t normally like to go out during midday in the summer to sketch or paint. It’s too hot, and I burn to a nice shade of cooked lobster in the sun. Yep, I use sun screen but I have to keep reapplying it and if I forget….lobster. Today was an exception because it wasContinue reading “Today’s sketch from Main Street”

Family night in Patchogue

Hubby and I went into the village the other night and we were surprised to find another street fair, geared toward families and it was also a sidewalk sale for local businesses. Not one to pass on a sketching opportunity and a coffee at Roast, we settled in at the coffee shop and I sketchedContinue reading “Family night in Patchogue”
