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.
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

I've learned more about what works and what doesn't work for me...so here it is: I have my own watercolor kit with scavenged tube watercolors from cheap coleman to some pricy utrecht artist line. As I get better with my skills I plan to upgrade my watercolor kit. Other items on my list: Pigma Micron .005 very fine line ink pen Copic Multiliner with replaceable ink cartridge - .05 and .01 Niji waterbrush - medium and small - mini size pentel 0.5mm mechanical pencil woodless graphite pencil 4B knead eraser small pencil ...
