Day Twelve: Coffee the Elixir of Life


I really love coffee. I mean in a legitimate unhealthy way. But once again it’s reassuring to know even in these crazy times the norms are still in place... and I really just love coffee.

PDX USK Scavenger Hunt: Heritage Tree

Image
It was so nice out today I caught some good shadows on this tree. I'm loving this hunt because, not only did I find out about Heritage trees, but found one in my neighborhood.  Also, because it was so nice out, I had several people stop and ask me what I was doing and I haven't had a drawing spectator in a while. It was fun.

The Newest Urban Sketcher...

Since I haven't blogged in some time, I've decided to be more serious about it. I also am determined to become an Urban Sketcher... what is that you ask?

First Sketch Crawl in Stowe and Elsewhere...

Image
Here are the drawings from my first sketch crawl. I'm still getting use to the water colors (I have never been very good at watercolor painting) and I think I improved over time. I had a great time drawing in Stowe as it's a big tourist area and I had quite a few people stop and talk to me about my sketching and the idea of Urban Sketching. It was so much fun. I'm hoping to get some more in next week maybe Burlington next Saturday. I'm happy to say I'm becoming addicted to the Urban Sketch!! Town Hall - Stowe, Vermont
