Next Sketch Outing
Saturday, Sept. 13: Georgetown Steam Plant
Hey all,
I haven't been able to make the last few sketch crawls:( but I have been sketching. Here are two from this year. One admission, the orange three wheeler was drawn on site, but painted at home, I just ran out of daylight, and shining my high beams across the street for an hour wasn't going to cut it. The dumptruck is from a little excursion up the beautiful Highway 99 North parked at Sky Nursery. I will even add that as a suggestion for a future sketch crawl. And if you get bored, Aurora is endlessly fascinating.
An excellent day at Kenmore Air and I also got a great tour of the workshop. I look forward to going back to draw some more.
Sketches from the annual Combine Demolition Derby in Lind WA. I try and go every year. It's a great community event and there are giant "Mad Max'd" farm machines smashing into each other. What's not to love.
Buck'n Fitch, a custom built hot rod. Note the Whiskey bottle holding the anti-freeze.
The pits in between heats. Crew members of crowd favorite Jaws rapidly work to get their machine back into running condition after an earlier matchup.
My first sketch with Urban Sketchers Seattle. This is at the Mercer St. Corridor construction site during Sunday's sketchcrawl and is the second time I've painted here. The first time I managed to kill my car battery in the middle of the construction site (in the middle of the day) which is rather embarrassing and might have killed the painting too. This time I came back with just a stool, some paper, a pencil, and paint. Who needs batteries.
