Sketching Even in the Cold
We’re at the two tables on the right: Marsha, Daisy, Peggy, Danita, Lynda (Jane at camera). Marsha sketched two of the sketchers, then on to a colorful floral arrangement. Daisy stood where she could get a good view of the market tower & logo – nice job! BarbSo popped in for a quick sketch of the vibrant flower baskets on the railing. Peggy included the framed windows on the next floor up – wonderful red complement. Jane’s photo courtesy of Peggy. Wonder what her finished work will look like? Danita’s really enjoying using her large sketchbook – Lotts of colorful detail here! Lynda had some great sketches from Eastern Oregon, & today included clothing too! -

Sketching in the Rain
Sept. 28, 2021, Thistledown Farm
Lynda, Tricia, Eva, Laura, Marsha, Daisy, Pat, Peggy (Jane behind camera) hanging out in the mostly empty greenhouses for shelter from the rain. 
Daisy said the horse didn’t hang out after she did have a treat, but the sketchers did! 
Eva finished her Oregon Trail wagon, on the the challenge of a white pumpkin! 
Jane saw a whole different view this time – the covered bridge & fields beyond. 
Laura braved the drippy walk overhang to put this sketch of the barn together – nice! 
Lynda discovered an additional perspective challenge in the boxes with the corner braces! 
Marsha is determined to see what the watercolor crayons can do – what a wet day. 
Pat was in the last greenhouse sketching the covered bridge, too. Nice scene details. 
Peggy was using the fudosenke brush pen with a delicate application of detail. 
Tricia had fun putting together a still life, including a bird house. 
It was hard to stop sketching to join the review before we left. Great day for sketching! -
More things to sketch at the farm
Sept. 21, 2021, Thistledown Farms, Junction City, OR
Here are the early birds: Marsha, Pat, Jim, Peggy, Eva (& Jane behind camera). 
Marsha is using a new tool – Caron de Ache water soluble crayons – finding her way. 
Pat couldn’t resist sketching the produce – so perfect for autumn. 
Jim has the perfect two image page – he captured the angles as well as the color! 
Peggy said, that flower was one of my mom’s favorites – she got these in great detail. 
Eva got the Iines of that Oregon Trail wagon just right – newt go darker…hmmm…. 
For someone who claimed she just couldn’t find anything interesting to sketch…nice job! 
Laura was so intent on sketching things that make this place unique – nice 2 page spread. 
Sharon gets all her tools in order for her field sketch – lovely scene! 
Tricia has fallen in love with this place – let’s keep coming back! OK. 
Surprise! Danita’s here! Been sketching in a storage room, & how do you like them apples. 
It wouldn’t be a true TD outing without doing the sketch review.
