This time Top Drawers visited Oakmont Park (Eugene). And check out what the Zoomers have been doing too.

Remember, all sketches are work in process. We are sharing what we manage to do in the allotted time at each location. Some members take their work back home and finish them (we don’t always get to see those here).

ZOOOOOOOM!

We offer Friday morning zoom for those members who have moved away but still want to keep in touch. Rowena recently moved (Oregon), Danita is one of the Top Drawer coordinators, Laura is another coordinator, Rita is living in sunny California, Peggy is another coordinator, Daisy is in Virginia now, Barbara moved to Washington, Linda is here to keep an eye on us, Bev moved to the beautiful Oregon coast, Bitty is another coordinator.

Summer is here. The weather is beautiful. Some Top Drawers are traveling. The rest are meeting up and sketching together. Laurelwood Golf Course has plenty of shaded tables to sit and sketch.

No Zoomers this time. We decided to skip the meetup because it landed on the 4th of July.

Top Drawers were at Laurelwood Golf Course this time. And Zoomers do some zooming.

Ken shares stages of his Smith Rock (Oregon) sketch.

He starts with ink.

Then he added watercolor.

Then colored pencil and lastly pastels to lighten up some areas.

ZOOOOOOMERS

Peggy, Danita, Rita, Bev, and Rowena. Small group this time. Others are traveling or had other obligations at the time. Though we missed them we still had plenty to share.

Top Drawers were at Lane County Farmer’s Market. Parking was an issue so fewer members made it. Plus it’s that time of year where some members are off traveling. Zoomers share too!

ZOOOOOOOM

Peggy, Danita, Bev, Daisy, Linda, Bitty, and BarbaraSo!

Why Zoom? Some of our members moved faraway and wanted to stay in touch so we zoom every Friday morning and share what we’ve sketched that week.

We were at Hendricks Park, Eugene. This 78 acre park is the oldest city park in Eugene. With 12 acres devoted to a rhododendron garden.

Also below, there was some sand portrait sketching on some Oregon beaches.

A little fun sketching portraits on Oregon Beaches.

Bill has been on the central Oregon coast for a bit. He’s been text sharing his sand portraits.

While Danita camped on the Southern Oregon coast she thought she’d get in on the action.

Bill texted that Danita must have a stronger back than him to be able to bend over and sketch like that. Plus, he said, those lips need some work.

Danita said, yeah I struggled with those lips.

Then the next day Danita did a self portrait. Lips have not improved.

Bill texted, “Now you’re cookin. I believe the bigger stick is the way to go.”

Then he texted, “just sayin.”

Here’s a couple of Danita’s coast camping trip sketches.

No Zoom this week. You can catch us next week.
