I am so psyched! I went to see the Urban Sketchers exhibit at the Ackland Museum Store, and got to see work by Liz Steel, Cathy (Kate) Johnson, Virginia Hein, Sharon Frost, Laura Frankstone and lots more! So cool to see everyone's work in person -- the real thing is always more vibrant than what we see on the screen, no matter how good our scans. The exhibit looks really good -- and I live so close, I get to go back. Any time I want. Until October 6! I started by sketching the panel that a visitor was looking at -- grabbed her quick before she moved on. Caroline Johnson's sketch number two had a red "sold" dot! Congratulations, Caroline!
Then I looked at Liz's work - the first of my contacts I spotted. I was so-o-o pleased! Took a few photos, looked quickly at everyone's work (all wonderful!!) and started a quick sketch of the panel that features Liz's work smack dab in the center. Then it was closing time.
I must confess to feeling really intimidated about sketching other people's work. It felt funny to be sketching someone else's art, and also I knew I could never do any of it justice. But I knew I couldn't just put blank rectangles on those walls either. (Sorry, did have to leave three.) I will be going back -- though likely not to sketch. I just want to drink in everyone's art.
The exhibit fasteners are in two parts - magnetic, so they leave no holes. One part is pounded into the wall or panel, the page is put in place, and a magnet goes on top to hold it firmly. Definitely a wonderful invention for hanging art.
Im Augsburger Maximilianmuseum stehen zahlreiche Architekturmodelle aus vergangenen Zeiten und erinnern an teilweise nicht mehr bestehende Toranlagen der Stadtmauer.
Sketchers-Treff Im Naturmuseum Augsburg (Pentel Brush Pen schwarz mit flüssiger Wasserfarbe EcoLine in dunkelgrau Nr. 706 in Moleskine, 19x19 cm, 120 g/m²).
Preliminary sketch. Messy. I eliminated the stuff on the right and made the harbor light closer to the edge.

Visiting a friend in Treffort for a week in freezing weather.
Sketches with fingers numb with cold, sometimes drawn with thick gloves ....
Day 2: very old alley in the upper part of the village, on the right, the houses are tiny, and the street is made of grass. Getting colder and colder
En ballade à Treffort pour une semaine dans un froid sibérien.
Quelques instantanés, doigts engourdis par le froid, parfois dessiné avec les gros gants….
Jour 2 : vieilles ruelles du haut du village, sur le croquis de droite, les maisons sont très petites et la rue est en prairie, il fait de plus en plus froid.
Pencil doodle tree while I was talking on the phone. Drawn with my left hand (I am right-handed). On a scrap of paper to throw away but I kind of liked it.
After a long time I made a sketch today of my son, sleeping. It was a real joy watching and drawing him!
Quick sketch of Desert4wd's black & white art work (somehow the computer added the sepia like tones), just for fun and possible mental 'juice stirring'. www.flickr.com/photos/desert4wd/23961731513/in/contacts/
Playing with collaging several sketches together to make a new piece.

I'm very excited to have had three of my sketches included in this book which has recently been released. It's a great book with interesting themes to broaden your sketching experience, and Liz Steel has written two of the chapters, on deserted spaces and workplaces . Go on… you know you want to buy it!!
My last spread on the train today. I got busted again by the girl on the left. She just gave me a deadpan stare and I just kept on sketching her.
Adebanji Alade is a British artist who does a lot of subway sketching as well and he winks at the person he's sketching when he's caught. Winking is not my style. Maybe tipping my hat at them...which means I have to start wearing a hat.
