Last Saturday, I went to The Met to draw with the NYC Urban Sketchers led by art teacher, Mark Leibowitz. As you can see, my drawing is all over the place. Giant head, proportions are not even remotely in the ballpark. A failure if there ever was one. As I sat down to begin to draw, I found myself in conversation was some fantastic women artists who were sitting within earshot. I began to chat and take my eye off the drawing I was making but I kept forging ahead. In fact, I started to enjoy the company more than the sketching. One was artist, Amanda Kavanagh who I’ve been following for years on Instagram. Here we were meeting for the first time by pure coincidence. There were also some newbie artists showing great courage by coming out and drawing in public. I love those folks. I had a great day but I feel I should also post and show my work when I totally screw up. I didn’t do it in a sketchbook but used a single pre stained piece of watercolor paper which shows I felt it would be a tough environment to draw in on a crowded Saturday.
