Arriving too early for last week's watercolor class (which meets in a church nearby), I parked on a side street and did a quick sketch of the tower and part of the building -- now hidden by maturing trees. I added color later at home.
Before leaving for class, I also did a quick sketch of Jack's Hamburgers shown on the left page, a walk-up eatery across the street from the high school which has been there continually since my parents' school days. I remember Mom taking me here as a child -- the first place I had sprinkles on my ice cream cone!
Isn't it great how sketching makes waiting a good thing? Neat sketches, I particularly like the selective use of color on the school!
ReplyDeleteGlad you posted them to our blog, too, Vicky. I saw them earlier today on the Flickr USK. They look even better on our black background.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Vicky, both the church and your tea page. I LOVE salt and peppers like that, so classic. Perfection...
ReplyDeleteBarbara, I actually look forward to wait-times when I have a sketchbook in hand. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteMarcia, every sketch here seems to look better with the black background!
(um . . . Kate, this is a high school, not a church. *GG*)
Ooops, and I KNEW that. My brain went on a mini-vacation! I'll send you a postcard!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to receive that postcard!
