I’m so impressed by the urban sketchers who braved the cold last night to sketch together! Our last meetup for @urbansketcherssacramento was a blast, despite it being 42 degrees! It’s easier to withstand the cold when you’re in the
Belatedly sharing what a fun time I had taking an urban sketching workshop with @suhitasketch in the studio of one of my heroes, @wendymac @drawtogether.studio. I can’t believe I got to meet Wendy!! She was just as cool in person as she seems!
Despite the rain, we had fun sketching indoors @urbansketcherssacramento! This time we were at The Pour Choice in Auburn, which had beautiful interiors for us to sketch. I gave myself a challenge by trying to draw a full interior scene with moving p
Another cute meetup for Urban Sketchers Sacramento! We had a lot of fun with a small group, sketching the gorgeous interiors and plants @propagatesac. Last slide: I love it when a sketching meetup ends in a sketcher sharing their work! @kthm4u is a
Sometimes I have time to watercolor on the spot — and sometimes I don’t! So I’ve been sketching with ink on location and watercoloring after the fact, when it makes sense. I appreciate the ability to capture an image quickly, knowin
How cute are we? Urban Sketchers Sacramento met up to sketch at night @oakparkhalloweenhouse and we had so much fun!! The owners of the house welcomed us and even offered to buy our artwork. And it was a neat challenge to sketch in the dark 🎃
Autumn is in the air! 🎃ðŸ‘ŧ🍂 I’ve been enjoying my landscape orientation sketchbook to draw people sitting together at cafes. Still debating on switching to a portrait orientation for my next A6 watercolor sketchbook. I thought the landscape
I drew a quick outline of a person while wandering around a pumpkin patch. It was hard to paint on the spot with things to see and do, so I took just enough pictures of the people and the landscape that I could finish at home! Also bought some cute p
Fun inflatables at the No Kings protest in Vancouver, Washington! ðŸšŦ👑 #urbansketchers #urbansketchingprotest #inktober #inktober2025 #nokingsprotest
Gotta love a soccer coach with metaphors. âš―ïļ He also told the kids: “Land the ball in Mars!” ðŸ‘― This was a cold day when it was about to rain, and I couldn’t decide what to sketch. Glad I found a bench a respectful distance from t
I gifted all these speakers their sketches. This was such a meaningful way to connect with the speakers as humans, and to internalize their ideas and words. I can’t believe @theartofthepost already framed hers. ðŸĨđ The Narrative Therapy Confere
I’ve been to a lot of narrative therapy trainings this week! I handed the first three speakers these perforated pages from my AquaBee sketchbook and they all expressed their gratitude. One even gave me a hug! It felt special to connect with the
What a fun urban sketching meetup at the cemetery! ðŸŠĶ I enjoyed contemplating mortality and water-soluble inks. New materials keep me playful in beginner’s mind. ðŸ‘ŧ Follow @urbansketcherssacramento for more meetups! #urbansketch #urbansketc
Happy Free Art Friday! On the off chance that someone would like a disposable mustache mug from #inktober, here’s your chance! #freeartfriday #freeartfridaysacramento #inktober #inktober2025 #inktobermustache
I’ve sketched so much of Fox & Goose lately! We had a meetup for @urbansketcherssacramento there, and then I returned to sketch the bar and the open mic night. I love the red brick walls, vintage British decorations, plants, and tall window
Surprisingly, I enjoy sketching at shows. It’s dark. It’s loud. It’s crowded. And it’s actually kinda perfect for people sketching. You groove to the music and before you know it, three hours have passed as if it was 15 minute
I painted this pretty passionflower on the fence between me and my neighbor. Her beautiful gardening brightens up our backyard. So I painted it as a little moment of mindfulness for myself, and a little thank you to her. I dropped it off at possibl
