Here’s my sketches from the last outing!
septembre 7, 2015
For the artists out there, these are sketched in pencil while walking around following my subjects, and tinted with watercolor during lunch and teatime. I skipped drawing in pen and ink over the pencil as I sometimes do. These days I’m tending to do either pencil + color or straight-to-ink + color – but rarely all three, pencil and ink and color.
Even though I do recommend all three when teaching beginners, after a few years of thinking about this, I feel it drains some ‘freshness’ (and slows you down) if you do too much drawing before the paint.
So – as you get more comfortable, you can skip one step – and just get more drawings done in the session 🙂

Urban Sketchers Montréal 
Marc Taro Holmes! You are my hero! I have your book on Urban Sketching. Will you be at the next Montreal Urban Sketching? I live in NYS about an hour and half away and plan to join the group one of these Sundays.
I’m planning to come to the next – the Atwater one 🙂 but if you’re coming all that way to draw, please keep in mind it’s a very casual outing! 🙂 🙂 I hope it’s ok!
Fresh and informative and masterly spontaneous … NICE! Check one of my recent ³independent² sketches below (real quick ball point pen on site + water color from memory later. Cheers Maurice Amiel (USM observer for now)

I love these! This is what I want in a workshop with you, next time up North! Loved our session with you.
