Old Poway Park with Inland Painters

I worked with pen and ink but I will try oil next time. This is a 1:12-minute Lydeo of the artists and a bit of Old Poway Park from the Train Station.

Bates Nut Farm Scarecrow Contest

I attended an event at the Bates Nut Farm with the San Diego Urban Sketchers today. Many of us drew the scarecrows during the scarecrow contest. I created my sketch with a brush pen and watercolor. This is a 3:09-minute video of the event showing the scarecrows, the artists, and their sketches.

Drawing at the Opera

Several artist groups were invited to the San Diego Civic Center to sketch during the dress and music rehearsal of Pirates of Penzance. I participated in this event last night. We had a little reading light and kept very quiet while drawing. It was a fun challenge drawing the moving singers. I dropped in watercolor on the first few sketches but decided my sketchbook was too big for me to be painting quickly.
