Oakway Mall Courtyard, Eugene, OR

    What a day to start in the sun! Barb S-N opens her sketchbook while Barb Sh shares her sketches from a recent trip to DC.

         Erik is a real sun lover, and loved capturing the contrast of the crane showing through the white oak tree against the brilliant blue sky.

    It was too hot in the sun for a few of us – here’s Barb So sketching.

  Jane completed her sketch of the white oak tree using Qor watercolors (so vivid), while Tricia contemplates using them, too.

Then the crew in the sun tempted all of us – here’s Erik, Penelope, Tricia, & Barb Sh.

   What was Barb Sh up to? A relative had bemoaned his loss of head hair, & challenged her to sketch his remaining nose & ear hair!

Penelope showed us her Winnie Givot inspired page of color swatches used for the facing page sketch – what a good idea.

   Then she got busy with a sketch of her incredible clematis, with matching color swatches on the opposite page of her sketchbook.

   Tricia finished up her tree sketch, and added the clematis, too.

         

Meanwhile, Jane was busy sketching one of the carnations a couple of girls were handing out, as well as the obligatory clematis. It was a great day for all.
