More Quick Sketches

Cafe Solstice

Gould Design Build Garden

Some quick sketches in the University area on Saturday. I only had a few moments and was sketching on the run. These two sketches were done within 20 -30 minutes each.

UW Finals Week

Last Sunday, I went to Cafe Solstice again. It was filled with students studying for finals.
Here is a sketch from a different view point.

I got a new watercolor sketchbook that is a little larger format. 10 x 7 Canson Montval Water Color Field Sketchbook. Anxious to try it out, I did this sketch at Cafe Solstice in the U District. I was pretty happy with the paper. It isn't quite as smooth as the Moleskine watercolor notebook...I will have to get use to it.
