The weekday sketchcrawl group met today at the Balboa park rose garden. My
previous post has a bunch of pictures of the rose garden and some of the beautiful roses. It turned out to be another beautiful day in the park; the sun was warm and the shade cool with just a bit of a breeze.
There were 4 of us this time. In this picture are Leon, Rachel, and Stephen. Turns out it is Stephen's Birthday today - Happy Birthday! I was somewhat late owing to a disagreement with the local snails as to the future of my petunias.
Leon is very quiet and lurked at another bench. Turns out he was sketching us surreptitiously and then had the nerve to complain that we made his sketching more difficult by moving around! However, he persevered and had a nice result.
Rachel made some itty bitty sketches all on one page.
Stephen sketched with his bamboo pen and sumi-e ink and seemed to spend most of the time waiting for the ink to dry.
I made an ATC for
day 34 of my ATC-A-Day project. Then there wasn't much time left but I sketched a little bit more of just the garden.
I forgot to take a picture from exactly my viewpoint (duh!), but this is close to it.
A great morning sketching! Now go make art!
