There was an Art Festival taking place here on this day, making it perfect to find a variety of subjects to sketch.
1st warm up sketch of a on old Triumph in great conditions. The driver unfortunately had to drive away just as I was about to add color. He asked me to remove the plate information since he didn't want people contacting him to sell the car.
2nd sketch was of a popcorn vendor selling from a vintage machine made in the 40's.
While I sketched sitting on the ground, a 2 year old boy came over to watch me pretty much for the entire duration of the drawing and I had some really fun dialogue with him. Here's one that I liked:
boy: "I could draw squiggly lines like you. Are you an Artist?"
me: "Yes I am. Are you an Artist too"
boy: "Yes, and I'm better than you"
His dad near by looked somewhat embarrassed by his child mentioning this but this actually made me really happy. I remembered a quote from Picasso mentioning that "All children are artists" and thought this was so true - so much confidence and no hesitation on
Here's a church sketch a la "Lapin Style"to get everything to fit on 1 page. I've been doing this quite a lot recently and it's quite addictive.
The group of about 12 sketchers met at a nearby coffee shop for a talk, sharing sketches and for me a cold Iced coffee. Photos below are from Erica's Facebook page.
Many came and left quickly but I was able to chat (and get a quick sketch) of the few that stuck around.
It was a fun day, and thanks for the invite Erica!
Before heading back home, I was able to get 1 quick capture of this light house that was in this are too. Light houses are so calming to draw.
