I'm an urban sketcher
Great people, Shari! You have really caught the intensity of the game.
I would love to put people in my paintings but just don’t know how. Perhaps the subject for another workshop!
Thanks Valerie. When I get more practice I’ll do a people workshop.
I love doing sketches like this; it captures local culture
Me too Mike. There were also pétanque players but it started to rain.
I love doing sketches like this when I’m traveling as it captures local color/culture. Nicely done.
I love them:)
Wonderful … in the great tradition of travel sketching, this communicates the moment.

Thanks John. They were such typical old French guys and they probably meet there every Sunday to play.
Hurray! Portraiture! This is a dying art and one that I have toiled away for so many years with such little reward. Perhaps you will revive it! All the power to you!
Your colleague

Thanks Liliane. I’m not as adept with portraits as you are but I’m trying.
That’s a hard one! I hope you are enjoying Paris, but I am sure you are!
I enjoying Paris but its freezing here. We need some Montreal heat for a few days so I can warm up.
Great people, Shari! It’s good that you are taking on this challenge… particularly if it results in more of these sketches.
But where next will you find such slow moving people in Paris? …from my experience, perhaps the queue at the base of the Eiffel Tower or the crowd around the Mona Lisa?
I didn’t end up doing more people. I think it was so cold that they all stayed inside!
Thank you for the great examples of ink and wash. It’s a style I’d love to master. Do you draw directly in ink, or do a pencil sketch first, or wash first?
I draw directly in ink even though I sometimes make mistakes. I just correct the lines and move on.
You really captured their intensity! I hope you are having a wonderful time in Paris.
Thanks Lisa. Paris is great but the weather is not. Nevertheless the workshop was fantastic!
Yay! Can’t wait to see more and more people stuff! You’ll kill it! I know you will. 🙂
Thanks Steven!
Oh Shari I don’t think you are in any way less adept in portraiture than anyone as you have clearly shown that you can do anything and excel at it. You are like a magician who always has another trick. I had no idea how much talent you had and am in awe in seeing your evolution on a daily basis. Enjoy Paris!:)
