Some Urban Sketching

Most recently, I've been caught up in the Urban Sketching movement, taking off around the globe.  It requires drawing on the spot . . . not from photos . . . and done more spontaneously and faster.  I'm using a smaller sketchbook, sketching fountain pen and smaller paint kit.  Here are my first volleys in the USk mode.








Sketches in and near Dallas ~2013

Last year Don Getz toured the country, leading some 60 three-day workshops on watercolor journaling.  I hosted the Dallas workshop.  Below are some of the sketches done there and shortly thereafter.










Early Sketches in/near Texas

About six or seven years ago, I took a watercolor sketching workshop with Eric Michaels in Waxahachie, Texas.  Here are a couple of sketches from that weekend, and shortly thereafter.




More Early Travel Sketches . . . Italy

On another trip to Italy with friends, I had less sketching time and a smaller kit.

Here are some sketches I did in 1998 in Europe on a trip with friends.
