Snow Scenes From a Solo Sketchcrawl














Yesterday was the 26th "Worldwide Sketchcrawl" . I usually do the sketchcrawls with my sister Joan, but yesterday I did a solo crawl from the warmth and comfort of my home. I only managed two sketches, one from my front window looking at the house across the street, and one from my back window looking at my backyard and some of the houses behind me. I did these as I would have on location, with my Cotman kit and a waterbrush.

These are really charming--and they make such a great pair. I like that you have mostly left the white of the paper for the snow, and I marvel at your snow-covered trees!

Mickey - I really like the way these came out. You did a great job on the indoor "plein airs." Maybe by the time the next sketchcrawl comes around it will be warm enough and nice enough for us to paint outdoors again.
