Forecast was for showers all day on Sunday.. Believing I might be a bit water repellant... I headed for downtown Toronto... Best decision as I would not have painted this if I had to stand in full sun with crowds milling about on a gorgeous day... 😂 Rain held off for most part of the day and then some gentle drizzles... Yes, I proved to myself I am mostly water repellant after all 😄 Hope you enjoyed a lovely Canada Day weekend, dear friends! How privileged I feel to live in this country. 😊 🥰 🙏🏼 🌻 🇺🇦 #uskto #usktoronto #gwartzmann #urbansketcherstoronto #oldtowntoronto #stlawrencemarket #urbansketchers #torontoartists #torontoartworkshop #holbeinacrylics #holbeinbrus Sketched from the back of my car..
Intermittent rain had people coming and going.. Every time someone new came along... I added the blessed soul to my scene... Now my sketch looks like a bustling patio on a sunny, summery day ... 😂 Hope you are having a glorious day with the glorious sunshine, dear friends 🥰 ☀️ 🌸 Hope the not-so-glorious smoke dissipates soon... 😅 🌸 ☀️ 🇺🇦 🌻 #cove_restaurant #urbansketching #urbansketchers #urbansketchingtoronto #uskto #urbansketchingtoronto #holbeinacrylics #dinningout @usktoronto #bronteharbour #seafoodrestaurants #strathmorewatercolorjournal Hope my car didn't raise any suspicions as I drove around the neighbourhood to find something to sketch at lunch break..😅
Finally found a parking spot with an interesting view of a house... The owner came home half way through my sketch..probably for lunch too.. Now my sketch looks happily "lived-in"..😄 Hope your day has been going well, dear friends. There is always a brand-new tomorrow! 🥰 ☀️ 🌸 🇺🇦 🌻 #usktoronto #uskto #urbansketchingworld #sketchingonlocation #holbeinacrylics #lovepassionjoy @usktoronto Passed by this on the way between 2 classes ..
Mermaid, emerald green and fella in yellow out in front.. All attracted me to sketch this over a couple of lunch breaks.. 😁 Hope you are enjoying a sunny day instead of the former rainy forecast, dear friends! 🥰 ☀️ 🌸 #urbansketching #usktoronto #uskto #holbeinbrush #holbeinacrylics #themermaidrestaurant #kerrstreetrestaurants Had 20 mins before Beauty of Bees Show started..
Made a quick sketch of the Border MX Restaurant across the street... What caught my eye: The cool mural on the dark front facade and soft salmony pink trim and side wall... The contrast between dark and light.. Between "aggressive" and calm... Wow! The menu looks awesome..will have to return to sample! Hope you're having a beautifully, calm day, dear friends! 🥰 ☀️ 🐝 🇺🇦 🌻 #holbeinacrylic #usktoronto #uskto #streetsvillerestaurant #bordermx #urbansketchingworld Having fun playing with Holbein acrylic colours and getting to know the "keys" on my "keyboard"...
Thank you to Sponsor Holbein for my Urban Sketching in Acrylics workshop as part of 10x10 Urban Sketching Toronto Event on July 15th & 16th. #holbeinacrylics #colourcharts #primarycolours #colourjoy #colourcombinations #usktoronto #uskto #oldtowntoronto #urbansketchingworkshop #colourpassion #colourpassionjoy Squeezed in a sketch during the Beauty of the Bees Show...
This historical Matthew Cunningham House next door caught my eye... Hope you are enjoying a peaceful Sunday, dear friends! #beautyofbee #streetsville #breadandhoneyfestival #houseandgarden #historicalhouse #matthewcunningham #uskto #urbansketching #urbansketchingtoronto Inspired by my Mother's Day bouquet ...
A bee is not exactly cuddly in real life 😁.. But by painting a human lovingly cradling a bee... I wanted to inject the urgency to do our part to help promote the thriving of our bees. . 🥰 💐 🐝 🇺🇦 #beespainting #beautyofbees #floralpainting #breadandhoneyfestival So pleased to land a hotel room in Ottawa with an urban view to practise some morning sketching before heading out...
No troublesome window blinds in the way unlike the last time.. 😅 Truly experiencing urban sketching free of the usual challenges when outside... 😄 Hope you are enjoying a glorious day, dear friends. 🥰 🌷 🇺🇦 🌻 #uskto #urbansketchingtoronto #urbansketchingottawa #usktoronto #winsornewtonwatercolors #hotelroomview #sketchbookjournal #traveljournaling |
