Sketching at the Fisherman's Wharf

Hello everyone! I haven't blogged in a while - it's about time I picked it back up!

It's been a lovely sunny day in Monterey. Our local painting group gathered to sketch at the Fisherman's wharf. The liveliness and activity of all the tourists was energizing. That being said, it isn't easy to capture people when they're moving around all over the place in a big crowd.

My solution? Keep the pen moving fast, and don't stop too long for details!  Lots of fun :)

A Friendly Goose

I took a walk to the pond today, and spotted a goose who was covertly watching me from behind the grass...

He thought I'd give him food, so he waddled his way over. He let me draw him for a long time in hopes he would get some morsel of bread!  I didn't have anything for him, but it was fun to watch him try and coerce me into feeding him.

 

I got to capture him doing so many silly-looking things . What a cutie!  We had fun together, but eventually he got bored of me and left.  So long, friendly goose!
