Sketching from Streetview

[Joy]

Kay, these are all excellent. Where do you find the time? The direct inks are really impressive.

Many thanks for looking and commenting Joy

I'm working from home at the moment, so when I've finished working I keep my laptop on and do my drawing straight after. The drawings usually take no longer than 30-40 minutes. I'm starting to really enjoy using ink now.

 

[Artyczar]

I love them too.

An urban scene today. I was brave and drew my person directly in ink. My favourite part is the laundry hanging in the upstairs window.

 

[Jo Castillo]

I always like clotheslines, too. Your journal idea is wonderful. I'm enjoying traveling the world with you.

 

[Enyaw]

Wow. You sketch very nicely and often.

Many thanks for looking and commenting, Jo and Wayne

 

[Artyczar]

This is might be the best one yet!

I went to Idaho today. The road was very straight and the landscape very level with not many features, so I travelled a while and eventually I came upon this pickup with special Streetview modifications. I'm not sure how it holds together ...

 

[Trier]

This is a great idea, Kay. You have sort of legitimized the posting of 'mere' sketches as a completed art work for me.
Yours are so good; keep 'em coming.

 

[Triduana]

Thanks very much Trier, I appreciate your comments. I'm hoping to keep this going.

There is something about old/disused buildings that fascinates me. I tried to simplify the surrounding trees as much as possible so as not to lose this one against them.

 

[Artyczar]

Nice one! I like the cream paper you used too.

 

[Triduana]

Thanks Arty! I like the cream paper, I might use it again.

Today I ended up round the back of a service station at a place with the delightful name of Badger . I settled on drawing some really big digger buckets.

You would probably be surprised at the number of photos I've taken of this kind of thing over the last couple of years.

 

[Artyczar]

Very good sketch and great perspective too! Compelling piece.

 

[Triduana]

Thank you Arty. I enjoyed this one.

 

[Triduana]

I'm getting a bit more confident with the ink now. I didn't want any detail of the hedge to detract from the chapel, so I just left the shape of it.

 

[Artyczar]

I love the unfinished look. Well done!

 

[Triduana]

Thank you Arty!
