Cooper Young Festival 2015

I have no sketches from the festival itself. It was soooo hot that day that I didn’t actually stay there long – just long enough to buy a new necklace and some t-shirts from Taropop, and an adorable little purse from Texstyle, and to eat some empanadas, and then go back and eat more empanadas.

 
I spent most of the day at Shannon’s and Brian’s, drinking their coffee, eating their food, and hanging out on their porch talking to everyone who stopped by. It was a great day.

Some Sort of Festival

I forgot the name of this festival – this was from Labor Day weekend! I do remember that it was fun, and this Mariachi band was fantastic.

Oh - there's the name of the festival!

Yay for Studio Night!























What a great Studio Night! I prepped for my upcoming class, organized my sketching supplies, cleaned out a fountain pen, started a new tiny watercolor, and sketched my studio! And watched more of season 3 of Gilmore Girls and did some laundry!

I didn't work on my oil paintings, but I also didn't stress out about it - I've got one in progress and I know which one I'm going to work on next, so I am all set!

Now I need to fold some towels...

Inspired by Teaching

I made this during the last time that I was teaching Fast Sketching at Flicker Street Studio. I get so inspired as I show students work by sketchers from all over the world!

I’ll be teaching at Flicker Street again later this month – October 13 – November 3 (four classes total). In the class, Oil Painting from Photos & Sketches, we’ll explore composition and basic oil painting techniques, and each student will make a painting based on a photo or sketch of their choosing.
