Careful with the sleep though as you could sleep right through your flight.<br />

Then along came "urban sketching." All one needs is something to draw with and draw on: could be a burnt stick on a wall, a bloody finger on the sidewalk, or a nice white piece of paper in a lap-sized sketchbook and a pencil, or pen, or brush. Doesn't matter, just something to draw with and on, right?<br />
<br />
Long hooked on urban sketching and capturing difficult subjects, for me, like cars, people, trees, and faces, I try to take advantage of any opportunity to draw. My favorite subject is architectural studies, but that's for another time.<br />

<br />
So, while in SeaTac a couple of weeks ago with a long, 3 or 4 hour wait, I sketched mostly the people walking by. It is impossible, again - for me, to capture a single person on the move. Each figure in these two images is actually a composite of at least 3 or 4 people. First get the idea of the head, then someone else walking by gives you an upper torso with maybe arms, someone else gives a backpack, or a carry-on on wheels, and it maybe be 2 or 3 more who provide the reference for the legs and shoes. It is a real challenge and I don't claim any expertise, just my own renderings backed up by having drawn hundreds, if not a few thousand, people over the past ten or twelve years.<br />

<br />
One block off the main road through the tiny village of Asotin, WA., stand this courthouse, constructed in 1907, if the sign pertains to not only itself but the courthouse. It could be older. I like to draw architectural things, and this turned out perfect, it was late in the afternoon and everyone had left for the day so there were no cars in front. I like this one, it isn't as loose as the draw bridge in the post just under this one, but I'm working on it.<br />

<br />
On a recent overnight stay in Clarkston, I had some time do some sketching. It wasn't easy finding a good spot from which to "draw" this "draw bridge," and once I found it - I had 15 minutes to spare.<br />
<br />
I like how it turned out, and I don't think color would help at all. I've ruined way too many fairly good sketches with watercolors...<br />

Thanks to Patty Gardner for finding this location for us to draw from last Wednesday morning. It is a personal residence situated along the eastern banks of the Columbia River. The view was of what many call the "Concrete Bridge" that connects Pasco to Richland, WA. Depending on which direction you are traveling the bridge is on an incline/decline as the Pasco side is elevated above that of the Richland side. What I wanted to capture in this sketch was the group of sketchers at the base of that old sycamore tree who were in the sunlight. It was a beautiful October morning where the temperature was almost perfect, there was no wind, and tons of blue sky overhead. As usual we had a fun time together, sketching. <br />

Out with the sketchmob, aka, USkTC, last Wednesday morning at the Uptown Shopping Center in Richland, WA. While the others stayed on the "outside" of the rectangle of shops, I found my way to the inner core where the electrical wires, garbage, and other utilities are located. I am amazed that this wiring system passes code in all respects and that the whole center hasn't gone up in flames, yet.<br />

Went sketching with the gang down at the Richland Yacht Club Wednesday morning and couldn't keep my eyes off this condo grouping. The Yacht Club building is in the middle (gutter) and off to the right are some other condos. I ran out of energy when I got those on the far right, so you will notice the style change. Off to the right are the boat docks; no time. <br />

I will not give up I will keep sketching to find out why. Possibly bad composition should of sketched it in portrait instead of landscape!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />

I was sitting atop this incline, there is a bank behind me so I'm in their parking lot. It's Tuesday evening, later than the sky here would indicate. This intersection has caught my eye before, in fact, I think I've sketched it before from another angle. I continue moving along using this quick-sketch approach trying to capture the energy and expressiveness of the scene. I keep thinking, one of these days, my drawings will enter the next level. <br />

What caught my eye here was the way the light was hitting the bridge behind all the trees in the park. Originally I decided to leave the tree trunks white, but after looking it over, I realized to grab what I wanted of the bridge, the trunks had to be dark. So there it is, another Wednesday morning out sketching with the Urban Sketchers; Tri-Cities.<br />

endangering the home owners. But we

Our group of sketchers settled in at the Mosaic by the River apartment complex in Richland, Wa., to do some sketching together. This is my take on the apartments. I enjoyed doing this one, as I enjoy trying to capture the essence of buildings and other architectural structures. <br />

It was hot at 98 am but we persevered. Sweat rolling off all of us. Not really we were in the shade. I think this is 6 point perspective.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Columbia Park will
be closed tomorrow for Water Follies 2015.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
there were a lot of workers getting the park ready for the
weekend.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
It was breezy and 70 degrees so I opted to paint from my
inside my car.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I had to move my car so they could spray paint some lines on
the grass.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I just realized I miss an opportunity to look out the window and see me</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
in my rear-view mirror</div>
