Sketching at Goldenbelt/The Scrap Exchange

Building corner drawn from plant pot level.

  Happy New Year! I didn't realize this would be my first post of 2014. Today, The Triangle Sketch Crawl met up at Golden Belt Artist Studios for an afternoon of (well... two hours of) sketching. Instead of going to Blend Cafe, which we discovered no longer existed, about a dozen of us drew in the area and returned to The Scrap Exchange to discuss our art inspirations and methods. There was so much to see and everyone shared their wonderful creations along with tips. Below, please find my sketches. I braved the cold weather to do a perspective drawing of a section of the beautiful brick buildings surrounding us. I was inspired by another member named Fleet who drew cool architectural sketches at the last meet up I attended.
  When my fingers could no longer endure the cold and I thought the perspective in my sketch was good enough, I went inside and saw some pretty plants I wanted to draw in the meantime. At least one meet up is scheduled for each upcoming week. I'm not sure when next I'll attend, but I will be sketching until then- working on some fashion designs for Divachix.com. Just trying to stay busy and productive. Best wishes for 2014!
