International Children's Theater Festival and ANTS

Playhouse Square hosted the International Children's Theater Festival on Mothere's Day where they had plenty of activities for families.  It was our second sketch outing for the spring, and luckily, both days we'd scored beautiful weather, just a slight chill in the breeze. 

The Ants performed the top of the hour, moving breadcrumbs.  They little kids had to figure out how to help the Ants move the crumbs and how to set them up.  The Ants never spoke, and just made clicking noises.  One of the other sketchers noticed that the people in the costumes must have really studied ants, because they moved their heads in a manner that made them very convincing. 

It was good to get out with the sketchers for a good sunny day and catch some sun.  It was the first time we actually needed sunscreen.  And, people laugh, but my car always has a snow shovel and sunscreen in it.  Because, well, you never know!

Women's International Air & Space Museum

Joined the sketchers at the International Women's Air & Space Museum on Saturday, February 27, 2016.  First sketch outing I'd made it to in a very long time.  (Sadly, since August last year).  This is located at Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland.

This was a great location with some airplanes inside and outside on the airfield to sketch, statutes, flight outfits, and even space food (space macaroni and cheese was probably the least appetizing food I'd ever seen in my life).

Definitely planning on making a lot more outings this year.  I just have to work at planning my time well.

August Sketch Outing

Went out with my sketching group on Sunday, August 30th, 2015 to sketch Franklin Castle on the near west side of Cleveland.  After a quick sketch on that location, I walked down a few blocks to a house I saw on a corner with giant sunflowers.  This was a nice and quiet location with some decent shade.  Although there were threats of rain and thunderstorms, during our outing we were pretty rain free.  It had only started to sprinkle as we were all packing up.

Gypsy Bean

 

Wow, it has been a very long time since I've posted on here, so I got some catching up to do.  Here's a sketch I did a couple of weeks back when I met a sketching buddy on Detroit Ave at a coffee shop to sketch.  It was threatening to rain, so we sketched inside.  Of course, it never actually rained until we were heading home. Well, that's what happens with sketching, right?
