Doha, Qatar RESULTS

Post by travelingsuep »

Image
Today was great as I connected with two other sketchers here in Doha, Mahmoud & Nasrin, and so there were 3 of us sketching in Souq Waqif, Doha. The majority of the sketching was done whilst sitting in cafés, although that was not an option when Mahmoud and I drew a sleeping porter. Here is my drawing and a photo of Mahmoud sketching.

Unfortunately, the others did not want to share their results today, but here are the rest of mine.

I had a fabulous day. Thank you Mahmoud & Nasrin.

Sue: Great job of showing the doorway and the street scenes. The atmosphere depicted is awesome.

Mahmoud did a great job of drawing a sleeping man.

Nice sketches with various subjects! From architecture to instant portrait, to street scene.
About the cafés... drawing from a café is perfect. You sit, sip and sketch, hehe.
I wish I had the chance to visit the city when I was around there but I only landed and departed through the airport.

I'd like to, but my work in Oman finished, at least for now, so I have no plans to come by. But I will someday, inshaallah.

Good sketching; I especially liked the way you captured the warped doors, and their thin color washes.
