Saturday in Millennium Park with a gaggle of Chicago Urban Sketchers. So what do you call a group of artists/sketchers?? A Scrawl? A Scribble? A Hatching? Once more we rally around the Bean.
As for having to knock in window after window….I’ll always opt to use lettering in lieu of drawing scores of windows.

Two and a half hours of a gorgeous day spent drawing a rocky bridge with pedestrian passage in Lincoln Park. Other than the bugs and rapidly changing light, it was quite pleasant.

Went to a life drawing session at the Palette & Chisel today and found my subject, an artist new to the P&C, Andrew, at work painting the model. He had a great head of hair an enjoyed trying capture his hands at various positions of  work. Also like the way his shirt revealed his underlying features.
Hadn’t drawn the popular model Jayson in quite some time. These were drawn on various days but I like including them.
got in about an hour and a half down at the Green City Farmers Market. Second time I’ve done a green only light study there. The day’s light provided dramatic light/shade contrast.
Made in the shade as they say.

Well, it was not easy, but it WAS fun. Caught the bookworm sitting in the darkened living room with just a reading light beam bouncing off the wall. I sat nearby using the ambient light to sketch the very striking silhouette of G Babe doing what she so loves to do.
Ink on that groovy PA RR Memorandum & Cash Book.
