Weekend Sketching

This weekend my sketchbook was in tow for some weekend adventures. I went to the beautiful Bellevue State Park for a friends birthday party. It was the perfect amount of sun and cloudless sky to enjoy this type of outing without my Polish skin bursting into flames.

Some more sketching I added some color to.

Hello, strange beret girl.

I also had the occasion of meeting a 12 year old girl who I shared some pages of my sketchbook with. It reminded me that bringing a sketchbook to social gatherings isn't necessarily an antisocial action. For certain introverts it allows them to feel more at ease.

Pub Sketching

I recently visited the Tired Hands Brewing Company  pub and did some sketching. The sun made a rare appearance, and this girl came out to play.

Another Traveling Blog

When I travel I need a big purse. I bring along the usual suspects- wallet, money, pen, medications- along with feminine neccessities- eyeliner, shadow, powder, makeup brush- as well as the obligatory sketcher's stash of sketchbook, pencil sharpener, watercolors, colored pencils.
It makes me happy when lugging all that crap around isn't in vain. Traveling, for example. If the ride on the train or bus isn't too bumpy it's quite fun and time-killing to sketch whatever comes to mind.
Two weeks ago I went trekking from Virginia to Pennsylvania to Massachusetts and back again.
