sketching, painting, and a little plein air in 🇨🇦
Watercolour sketch of an abandoned downtown Vancouver gas station. Everything was weathered and rusted and I liked how that contrasted with the flowers. #watercoloursketch #vancouver #sketchbook
I went downtown #yvr to draw the soccer balls. I got half way through drawing it and someone set up a structure that completely blocked my view...sigh. Hopefully I'll get a chance to try again. Got a neat pic though.
A quick watercolour sketch from last night. I really should sketch in the evening more often, a nice way to end the day. #westvancouver #pleinair #pleinairpainting
one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.
Because I just stumbled on an illustration someone posted with no identifying marks and also ENORMOUS enough for someone to probably print it at a decent size: don’t. Mark your shit, make it small and crunchy. There’s no amount of detail you wanna get across that means giving away your files.
Hung out with the old Urban Sketchers gang today. Spent less than an hour on this then went for coffee 😄 #vancouverschoolboard #totempole #urbansketching #vancouver #urbansketchers

What are you doing the night before your 9am flight? packing your clothes? Checking in to your flight? Getting your liquids in a plastic bag? No, you’re cracking out the sewing machine and making yourself a last minute roll up pen case.
