I really enjoying capturing people's body language while they relax into conversation with each other.

Here's my second line drawing for InkTober. I drew this one while at the library and it's so nice to see people with books in front of them, instead of computers! Still working on how to take a photo of a white piece of paper... looking a bit gray but the only alternative is over exposed. Any ideas?

a Tuesday in April

SOLD
I spent this rainy Tuesday urban sketching in a dry cafe, drawing people.
$40 - 5x7"painting with 8x10"mat.
Here's my process - 

I drew with my 6B pencil on a small hot-pressed watercolour pad.

You can see my tiny palette, that was once an eye shadow kit! Very unobtrusive!

Also, my small water container, a rag and my size 14 watercolour paint brush.

Another customer sat down, so I quickly added her, left of the blonde woman.

Happy with this one... and onto another. : )

keep on truckin'

Today's urban moment. I've included a pic of me on-site, at a coffee shop way across the street, with my eye makeup holder/palette.

There wasn't much sunshine on these echinacea so, I went with lots of colour instead! Below is a pic of my paintbox, which sits on my lap. Lots more examples of me using it on my Flickr Page.

Back out there! I love painting at the Toronto Botanical Gardens with the lovely ladies, (well... yesterday it was all ladies) from the Toronto Plein Air Group. Here is a pic of my trusty paintbox which sits on my lap. I may try to do this one larger in studio.

The beautiful Cherry Blossom trees, called Sakuras, are only in bloom for two weeks. This lovely row is behind the University of Toronto library, and there are more in High Park and at the Toronto Island. Lots more to paint!
