Saturday sketching with USkWR at Heritage Schneider House in Kitchener. In spite of the occasional rain we persevered. The Schneider House is the oldest house in Kitchener, built in 1820. The garden sketch is what happens when you sit under a wet tree…presto a true “water coloured” sketch.
On our trip to Belgium this castel in Beergel caught my eye. Did a quick sketch.
This is a sketch I did from one of the photos my daughter emailed from her visit to Rome. I remember this view when we were in Rome some years ago but didn’t sketch it then. Thanks, Julie for the photo!
As a practice piece, I copied a Monet painting. Trying to loosen up my style. I stayed away from small brushes and detail and to see what I could accomplish in less than an hour and with a limited palette. This is the result…very different for me. Monet would not be pleased with my interpretation!
This was the second commission by the staff. The replacement for the original restaurant across the road. This restaurant was on the corner of Hwy 8 and TuLane Road and continued as a popular stop for a number of years. I believe it is a Tim Hortons doughnut shop now.The area is all built up now with many stores.
