"unofficial" SketchCrawl

What better way to enjoy the official "talk like a pirate day" than to attend an "unofficial" SketchCrawl outing. We had 8 artists (plus one additional that came to the location but didn't find the group) this time! Wow!! That was the largest attended crawl yet. I loved it! We started in Kathrin Albertsons Park again, then headed over to Hyde Park Street Fair. It was perfect weather and I had a grand time seeing everyone's various sketching styles. I really should have added some humor to the sketch... like the duck with an eye patch as Barry suggested. ;) next time for sure!

 

July 31 ~ SketchCrawl

It has been a busy summer for everyone...lot of full schedules... Soooo, I went out solo this morning. I was so glad I did too! Drew in a spot that I have never drawn before. Cathryn Alberstons Park is full of inspiration. But what really caught my artist eye were the lilies in bloom on the ponds...I spent the entire 2 hours in one spot, soaking in the sights... watched how the light changed the colors of the lily pads, and how quickly the flowers opened up to the sun. To top it all off, I came face to face with a young doe deer. She wasn't frightened of me and continued to graze about 15 feet from me.

May 15th ~ Boise SketchCrawl

It has taken awhile for me to scan and upload the last SketchCrawl... no other excuses other than June was a very full month. :) We met at the Boise Train Depot, then went to Roosters on Vista for lunch. My "sketching" continued into the evening when I attended a good friend's college graduation party.

I'm really looking forward to July 31st for the 3rd SketchCrawl of 2010. We plan on meeting at Kathrine Alberstons park.

leftovers

two left over drawings from the same day, but after the sketchcrawl event in Feb ... so technically I guess it would still count as part of the sketchcrawl.

Next Boise SketchCrawl ~ Saturday, May 15th

The next international SketchCrawl in on May 15th!!!

The Boise group is planning on meeting at 10am by the Train Depot (top of the Vista/Capitol hill)  just look for the folks with the sketchbooks in hand.
Join us for an hour of sketching or the whole afternoon, it's up to you and your schedule. Bring your friends, bring your peers, bring you sketchbook.... a little portable chair makes life more comfortable too.

Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting some new friends.
