Focused Sketch Fun

Barry’s, Southtowne, Eugene, OR

1It takes coordination to get us all in the picture – & we probably need time lapse photography…  Above: Erik, the hands of Tricia, Barb S-N, Penelope, Barb Sh, Jane, & Sandy. Below: Tricia, Barb S-N, Penelope, Barb Sh, Jan, Sandy, and Erik (the brave). But wait, there’s more!2

Erik-1   erik-2   erik-3Erik, of course,  took advantage of the fabulous eating options at Barry’s, but he also did some sketching…of sketchers at the table!

barbSh-2   barbSh-1   barbSh-3We were curious to see how Barb Shirk’s oxalis sketch turned out (here with Erik, & with Jan), but let her do some sketching today, too.

jane-1   Jane-2   jane-3Jane had brought the yellow orchid, which she thoroughly enjoyed sketching – here’s how her sketch developed.

jane-Sandy    sandy-1Jane and Sandy were really intent on their sketching, but take a look at what Sandy was sketching (who can spell that yummy treat?).

barbSN-1   BarbSN-2   BarbSN-3Barbara S-N was focused on the orchid, too, capturing Penelope’s attention with what she was doing with watercolor.

BarbA-penThen Barb A sneaked in the door and was making up for lost time.

Jan    jan-pen1    jan-pen2Meanwhile, Jan was already on her 2nd sketch trying to get loose in this version, while across the table Penelope was sketching Jan!

Tricia-1    tricia-2   tricia-3The orchid caught Tricia’s eye, too, and here’s her final sketch of it.
     ken-2Ken finally takes a breather from looking at everyone’s work, commenting and encouraging, before he turns back to his own – he’s working on borders for his accordion style sketchbook in a sort of Celtic design (note the swan sketch on the right).
