Caravaggio painting exhibition at the Fabre Museum. Crowded. The waiting line, trying to capture a face, the entry of the Museum.

Detalhe do sketch que fiz em homenagem ao Pearl Jam, que comemora seus 20 anos de existência esse ano! Parabéns, PJ!!
Detail sketch I did in tribute to Pearl Jam, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year! Happy Birthday, PJ!
I'm not sure what kind of tower this is, but it totally dominates this urban scene. I will have to come back to draw it in closer inspection.
This view of iconic Sugarloaf was sketched from the plaza of the famous Christo Redemptor statue that overlooks the city. Our time here was short, resulting in this simplified line sketch of coastline, landforms and architecture. I will add watercolor in the studio.
2B pencil.
Late last night a spontaneous sketch began to take shape. Suddenly, like an Aztlan lightning bolt, I thought of Juan Santos; it had been months since reading his blog. I quickly clicked his bookmark to catch up with his latest soulful writings. I was deeply saddened to find that he passed away on January 22, 2010. I will miss reading the poignant, poetic clarity of Juan's words. He's now a spirit at peace, but certainly not at rest. Write on, Rafa!
My sketch is a token of appreciation of the man and the powerful words he was kind enough to share.

Kris and I went for a walk in the Oregon Garden this afternoon. I only carried a small notebook and one pen in my coat pocket. After our walk I waited while Kris looked in the gift shop and I did this quick sketch. Lately I've been thinking a lot about the purpose of a sketch. I'm thinking a sketch is a diagram of your experience. The question at this point for me is, "how much realism is required and what's the minimum needed to capture a moment"? This sketch was an experiment to see what I could accomplish by just sketching the shadows. For me this sketch stands for resting in the shade after a walk on a beautiful sunny day.

After two days of absence, Igo back to my fetish tractor shed, and try out my liner on this Vendreuve 1950.

Hips, Lips and Fingertips - and loads of attitude!!

Evening sketch, a tram station on my way home.
Croquis du soir, la station Boutonnet sur mon chemin.
Randocroquis dans les rues de Paris : le samedi à Montmartre, le dimanche autour du Pont-Neuf. Ces croquis sont des explications des consignes d'exercices. Quelques fois on voit des dessins pêle-mêle, parfois des images plus finalisées.
here's another page out of one of my old sketch pads (circa 1987) where I'd do a fun cartoon detailing one of my business road trips...I know it looks kinda cryptic but all of the things I drew have some meaning and played a part of the trip. My job at the time was doing retail store design for Specialized Bicycle. 10" x 8"

A couple of sketches of a boxwood knight from my House of Staunton chess set. These both began as contour drawings, with details and shading filled in afterwards. I found that contour drawing a symmetrical item is pretty problematic - it's hard to make the sides actually symmetrical. It's much easier to accurately draw an asymmetrical object (or at least asymmetrical objects don't show problems as easily).

A fairly quick sketch of a barn that I photographed last fall. Tried to keep it relatively loose, and to have strong separation of values. On the bottom, a hay bale from another photo. I thought it might be tough to render, and it was :-\.
