Sketch...Bookstore


Sketched this before therapy...added wc's at home. This bookstore is in the shopping center on Upper Bay Rd. I need to find something else to sketch that's close to the therapy building. Maybe NASA.

Handbook, pencil, pen and watercolors

A Couple of Sketches

I stopped at Starbucks today for my weekly latte and I decided to try their Raspberry Swirl Loaf Cake. It was ok...I like the blueberry coffee cake the best! I used gouache to try and get the icing to standout...I think I might paint this in oils, so I can use thick paint for the icing. Not a good scan.

Raffine 6x6 sketchbook, pencil, wc's, ink, gouache
This is where I have my hair done. I drove by Monday and did a quick pencil sketch and added watercolors and ink today. Lisa is one of the sweetest people I know! The perspective is off, but it's just a sketch.

Doodling


Here is my doodling at Cracker Barrel on Sunday morning...DH, Chance and I walked first and then we went to Cracker Barrel. They are a little wonky...I hold the sketchbook on my lap under the table, so no one can see what I'm doing.

Chabuca's









DH and I ate at this restaurant yesterday on Nasa Rd. 1. They have a great buffet and the food is cooked Brazilian style. I didn't sketch while there...I was to busy feeding my face! lol I did some doodling at Cracker Barrel this morning...I need to add wc's, so I'll post those tomorrow.

HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!!!!!!

Daily Sketch...Umbrella Table

I sketched this yesterday before therapy at the same shopping center I have been sketching at. Looks like next week is not my last week, since my finger still refuses to bend! There are several tables outside a place called Meriterraneo Market & Cafe, so I sketched one and a chair...that's all I had time for. I like this "strip center"...it's not the same old boring modern center I see everyday where I live...it has character.


handbook,pencil,watercolor and ink added at home.

Sketch...Antique Classic


This store is in the same shopping center that I sketched the clock tower in...it's a rug store. I liked the old look of the building. I sketched this before therapy yesterday and added watercolors and pen at home. I'm trying to sketch everyday, since I don't have time for oils right now. I feel like I spend most of my day exercising and stretching my finger! I only spend about 5 minutes on these sketches and then add color at home.
