Sketching

Sketching by PrairiePoppins.
It was +2 yesterday, warm enough to sketch while they tobagganed. I wore fingerless mitts on the right hand, and had a blast. I very resolutely ignored the other parents, because I was very certainly setting a precedent and I didn't want to see it on their faces. And when I pulled out a camera and took a picture of my book, I imagined that I was alone on the hill...

I am surprised your pen didn't freeze! Very nice that you show the drawing with the site behind it. Very cool!

That is awesome. I love that you sketched on location and in such cold weather. What a beautiful sky and landscape. So crisp and clear. Like your tree too.

Terri, that's Celsius, otherwise it would have! I still had to keep my fingers warm, and occasionally I'd pop the pen in my back pocket to warm while I nestled my hand in my wind-free pocket.

You are a much more stalwart artist than I! I am considering adding to my Flickr title "plein air wuss"

I asked for fingerless gloves for Christmas so I could sketch outdoors, but I didn't get any :(. So great to see you sketching out in the cold! Cool picture, too. Great fun!

Love seeing the sketch and the view being sketched just ahead of you and the book. Wonderful perspective on that moment. And... I am just laughing at the final line of your annotation. That's just perfect! (I totally agree about the benefits of the fingerless mitt.)
