England

Went to visit my sister Becky in England the week before the Royal Wedding. Tried to keep a visual log while we were there drawing at least one--though usually two--pictures per day. The trip was amazing, I cannot wait until I am able to go back. I think I was meant to be English.

Cheers!

Sketchbooking

A little play with watercolours while I was out.

Sketchbooking

I have been working on trying to get back in the habit of sketching from observation wherever I go. I found it really fulfilling when in Italy but then got out of the habit. So here are a few selections from winter break:

Tea at the Hawkes House

Coffee Shop in Bath, ME

(filled with High Schoolers and laptops)

Meghan and my hotel room in Montreal

when we went to see the Waterhouse Exhibit

And one image from the summer I never posted but quite like:

The fall semester

I am afraid that, with teaching practicum, my art output will be wanting for the semester. But come December, I will be finished with Art Education in its entirety and I will be able to dedicate my time fully to Illustration. Cheers!

That being said, two quick sketches from the Newport Folk Festival:

And my character to play around with (unofficially) for character creation: Charlotte Dana Donavan, aka "Charlie":
