My first time in longer than I can remember just going outdoors to sketch. I often work from photos I’ve taken while out and about, and sometimes do quick thumbnail sketches and make visual notes when I’m walking around, but I’ve never made much of an effort to draw or paint outdoors. I’ve been a bit isolated in the new studio, and have been making a push to get out, meet local artists, and explore new parts of the Seattle area (most of it’s still new to me, so this is exciting and depressing all at once.)

So, I signed up for a meetup group (my mind remembered the group as sketchup– which I like– but it wasn’t), bought a new sketch book, packed up some pens, markers, and my sister, and drove out to Fisherman’s Terminal last Friday.

I’m not in love with what I made, but it was fun to try something new. Feeling more of this at least over the summer while it’s warm enough to forget about cold fingers and toes.
