I met with my group of fellow artists for a day of sketching. Well, 4 hrs of it at least. Juli and I went there with Melanie(a friend of Julis') - she to shop, me to draw. I got out at the gate to the market and met up with my group at the Java's Coffee shop there. We all sat outside around a couple of tables. It was a hot sunny day and we kept moving to get the best possible spot in the shade. I loosened up with the drawings of some of the others sitting around having coffee.
It was a bit hard to get started. But once I did I took off. It was an place with lots of people moving around and staying still long enough for me to get started on them but I got a few. So I switched to the cars near by. Again - good but not inspirational. As every body started to go I decided to walk around the market - to get that inspiration. I got it back at the entrance. The only problem was - to get the drawing I did I had to stand out in the sun a bit. Started to sweat a bit. So once I had the bones of it down I went to the bakery there to sit down inside and work some more on the piece. A couple of guys there commented on my work and bought me a pastry and some water. We did some
networking and had a good time talking.
After that I walked back downtown to catch the bus. Almost all the way there I came across this home that I have admired on many occasions so I stopped again and got the bones of it down then got to the bus stop and got my ride home. It was a long day but a fun one.
