SketchCrawl.com™

This is my first SketchCrawl, and since I couldn't find a group near me, I decided to go solo. I did "A Day in the Life ...", starting with the view I see every morning when I wake up, and my sweet golden retriever, Buckley. I'm lucky to live out in the country, and I had fresh-picked red raspberries for breakfast, which I also drew.


I had to go into town and do some errands, so I took the opportunity to sketch a scene that I see several times a week and always think, "Gee, I should sketch that one of these days." So yesterday I did!


Our nearest town is the thriving metropolis of Waynesburg, PA. Here's a view of the main street.


After supper, I took the dogs for a walk and sketched the view looking back at my house.


Last, but not least, a pretty pot of flowers on the patio.


I did all of the sketches and about half of the painting yesterday, then finished up the rest of the painting today. It was a lot of fun - can't wait for the next event!

Leslie, Your drawings/watercolors are wonderful...thanks so much for sharing your day
all the best, Laura (JizoGarden)

You say you're lucky to live out in the country, but it's your sketches that prove it. My favourites are the 'Greene County Barne' and '3pm Waynesburg PA', but they're all charming.

-- Leslie, no comments no further words but a big smile on the face you left on me
Well, I can't: I hope there will be SCrawls after this first one ... and as there will be such nice layouts and mottos, I guess, others would join you soon, too

beautiful sketches You certainly cralwed from place to place and drew a lot. I like your happy morning greeter and the main street drawing. thank you for sharing your solo sketchcrawl with us

Great style and perspective (especially the town street scene). Oh to be that good!

Leslie, so nice to see the landscapes of your home place and the view of Prosperity downtown.
So much detail and narration and still so sweet interpretation. it really leave a sense of peace watching your sketches.

Beautiful sketches of an idyllic day-in-the-life. While I love the social nature of sketchcrawls, I also appreciate the act of going solo - it can be a wonderful meditation. Well done!!
