AI, Jo, Joan, Pine Cone, wonderful paintings and drawings.
Thank you all for the kind words.
Pine Cone, thank you for the kind words, glad you liked them. Yes, Pine Cone and Fletch, you recognized them, it's Snoopy.
Pine Cone, you know, when I see a yellow cat I always wonder, is it Garfield? Sometimes I've asked the cat if it was Garfield, but until now I've never found the real Garfield.
Joan, the biker is Daryl from the Walking Dead, in Funko, those figurines with the huge heads. Several years ago, seeing them, I thought about getting one. They're actually cute. Thinking back, I think I would have looked for one from a movie like Ghostbusters or Ace Ventura. However, I like the character of Daryl and the actor who plays him. I really liked the first seasons of the Walking Dead, especially the very first seasons directed and written by Frank Darabont, the director of The Green Mile and Majestic.

Pine Cone, your comments to everyone just warm my heart with their kindness and incite. Your rock looks great! You've captured all the cracks and crevices with your lines. I think it would be overwhelming to add all those other "nooks and crannies." And you added some grass to ground it too. I think keeping sketches like this handy to inspire another sketch or even a painting in the future. Lots of people keep small sketches or simpler sketches for reference at a later time. So your idea seems really reasonable to me.

Jade and Bob, it is good to see you making an appearance.

Joe, thanks. I've Never seen the Walking Dead, so I'm not sure who the character is. It is great that you have such fun figures to sketch when you want.

Hope everyone has a good day and gets some sketching done! See you later.

Happy mid-August to everyone

#4 building - B -- a private estate in Phuket, called BaanHongYok ...

#15 sub. rolling with Thai fishing boats at Si - Rae shipyard... there were more than 100 sketchers, painters at this dock, sketching together

#16 relaxing ...my artist friends met up for some cocktail drinks, some recipe is local from Phuket beach island town.

 

[Jade]

Wow, 100 sketchers Ai .. that's amazing. Your pictures are beautiful as always. Love the lush green if the first one and the different colours in the others

 

[Loulou]

Hi all!

1. Fruit

 

[joe1It]

Ai,formidable job.loulou ,nice fico.

water, yesterday morning I went to the beach for a few hours, I had brought an A6 sketchbook for a walk and possibly try sketching, then I didn't draw, I went for a walk and swam, the sea was calm, you could see little fish, before leaving I drew this
fish and beach.

 

[Jade]

Hi all!

1. Fruit

Nice job Loulou! I like the sharing and the grooves.

 

[Joan T]

Ai, it is fun to see all the sketchers on the dock working. The private estate is lovely, but the sketch of the boats has so much energy with your rich colors in the boats, the water and the sky. Ah...those cocktails look so tempting!! I'm glad you are relaxing a little too.

Loulou, great job on the fruit. It looks like a pear, but is more rounded. Is it a fig?

Joe, applause for going out and sketching at the beach. I like the different shapes of the fish and the buildings along the beach.

I also went to the beach but sat on a bench up by the pavilion. I was looking down at the people and the water. This view gave me some vegetation on the dunes in front of me.
16 - landscape - watercolors and ink

 

[Jo Castillo]

Ai, thanks for taking us on your trip. Love the tiny umbrella and the scene with the colorful homes. Your sketches are super and big, wow! The old town is fun to see. Applause. Great nocturne with the vehicles, etc. The estate building is gorgeous. The rolling boats are lovely. Amazing to be around so many sketchers. The drinks look fun and sound delicious and look delicious. And always lovely to see you! Thanks.

Joan, thanks. Ah, fun bike. The gantry is excellent, I've never seen one or if I did I just blended it into the dock scene. We did go to the Naval docks in Norfolk some 25 years ago. Ha. Like the textures and car/van. Your landscape with the people, vegetation, umbrellas and all is super fine.

Pine Cone, hey there. Happy to see and hear from you with your insights. Thank you. Your rock lines are so demonstrative. I definitely see the rock.

Hi Jade and Bob.

Hi joe1lt. Wow! You did some plein air sketching. Love the lines on the fish and people on the beach and it the water. See a couple of umbrellas, too. Fun, fun, fun.

Loulou, Welcome. I like your sketch, sketchbook and tools. Happy you joined in. We've been doing this since 2006.

I sketched out in front of the PT place in the large Canson sketchbook, mix media, half page with Ohuhu pens and watercolor. About 30 minutes or so. I left out the background of stores and parking lot. Number 8 tree and 9 vehicle. About 92º but not bad in the shade.

 

[AiArts]

Thanks all for kind words.

#10 colorful -- B

This morning at another landmark junction of Phuket, with the giant Thai boxing bear promotion... The event has about 800 sketchers from 26 countries to join...so much talents around me.

 

[Jade]

Great pictures all! Welcome Loulou I didn't realise you guys had been doing this since 2006

I just did a drawing I'm pleased with so thought I'd drop it here too..

 

[joe1It]

Thanks for nice words.
Ai,Joa,Jo,Jade, magic job

 

[Joan T]

Jo, thanks so much. I like the way you focused on the trees and car and eliminated the annoying background. Great idea!

Ai, great work on the scene with the giant Thai boxing bear. It is so colorful and a fun contrast to the architecture there.

Jade, fun sketch of the cat in formal wear. I wonder where he's going...lol

 

[Jo Castillo]

Thanks, all. Good morning.

Ai, the giant bear and scene is amazing. I cannot imagine so many sketchers. I remember when I went to the International Pastel Convention that I felt proud to be among so many great artists, about 700. But also intimidated that there were so many artists that were doing such great work. You fall in among the most talented!! Thanks for the photos and have a great time.

Jade, thanks for the share. Good job on the shine on the hat and shading.

#16 used for art...( as subjects)..
Old town of Phuket.. another nocturne ..sketched at an outdoor cafe table...I gave up on those details...lol

 

[Jo Castillo]

Ai, another great nocturne with just a perfect amount of detail!

 

[Joan T]

Ai, lovely job and I agree with Jo...just a perfect amount of detail.

This morning I went to the Peconic Herb Farm to sketch. This is one of their small buildings which had a swing on the outside porch.
17 - something colorful - watercolors
