Christmas Kitsch at Community Thrift Community Thrift was a great sketching venue. So much great kitsch to draw and lots comfy chairs and sofas to sit on. And the staff loved having us there. We'll definitely be going back! Not too pleased with this sketch, which I spent over an hour on. I kept trying to make it work by adding more and more darks and line work, but it never quite came together. Clearly, the area between the chests and the Santa is the problem area. I'd love to hear suggestions on what I should have done differently to make this more successful.
