Sketching at Swell Taco

Well I realized that I had only 3 stamped pastel panels so I started an 8×10 oil today…..it’s still in progress so I won’t be showing that one yet.  Instead, here is the sketch I did at Swell Taco PGSB night in Patchogue.  We sketched the hostess, Britt, in a taco costume and we gotContinue reading “Sketching at Swell Taco”

Painting in a boatyard

It was a cool, grey day.  Some friends and I popped over to a local boatyard to paint.  It was an interesting place and full of local history.  I walked around a bit.  Looks different from this side, usually I am sketching this location from the other side of Patchogue River.  I decided on thisContinue reading “Painting in a boatyard”

I will sketch for ice cream!

One of the Paint the Great South Bay’s mini challenges was a sketch hour at Kilwin’s of Patchogue.  The owner, John, offered the PGSB artists a free ice cream in trade for a sketch in his shop.  Hell yeah!  I was there, John and I have been on a strict eating and exercise plan butContinue reading “I will sketch for ice cream!”

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….

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”

Alive After Five Week #3

Our model yesterday, Stephanie, at Alive After Five, was very good.  She came equipped with a goth outfit and black lacy umbrella.  Her poses were so amazing that she stopped people who were passing by, and they paused to watch us sketch.  Normally they stroll by and don’t even glance our way.  Stephanie didn’t haveContinue reading “Alive After Five Week #3”
