SIP-n-Sketch: New Project for 10/9/2020

Hello SIP-n-Sketchers:

As promised, here is the landscape image for this Friday's sketch project:

I took this photo as I was riding along Highway 1 down through Half Moon Bay. Although it is a landscape, there are many things happening in the foreground that will make an interesting sketch. Hope to see you Friday.

We hope that Rang Dong will be able to reopen and wish them the best of luck. I hope you enjoyed sketching your favorite local business.

SIP-n-Sketch: New project for 9/21/20

Hi Sketchers:

For our next project, we will sketch our favorite local business (restaurant, book store, dry cleaner, etc.). The sketch can be an exterior street view, and interior favorite seat that you enjoy, or a specific product or service that this businesses sells.

For my business, I am selecting "Rang Dong", my favorite Vietnamese restaurant that burned recently in the Oakland Chinatown fire. I had enjoyed Rang Dong's delicious food for many years and hope they will return.

SIP-n-Sketch, finished "San Francisco Belle under red Sun"

Last Friday, we finished "San Francisco Belle under red Sun". Please post your finished work under the Rhythmix webpage on Facebook.

For Monday, please select a favorite local business (restaurant, book store, dry cleaner, etc.) that you would like to sketch. Your sketch can be the exterior street view, or an interior seating area, or a particular product, dish, or service this business sells. 

My local business is "Rang Dong", a Vietnamese restaurant that was on 7th and Webster in Oakland Chinatown. Last week, Rang Dong was burned in a fire that started behind the building. Unfortunately, it is now closed. So, let's sketch our favorite businesses before they burn down.

 

Remains into PokeyMon Shelf

Mr. PokeyMon, our resident cactus, has gotten so big he doesn't fit on my son's window ledge anymore. Luckily, I had a bunch of scrap wood pieces from the container garden to build Mr. PokeyMon a window shelf.

SIP-n-Sketch, New project for 8/24/20

Hi SIP-n-Sketchers:

For Monday, we will start on "San Francisco Belle under red sun". I'm going to use watercolor crayon in addition to acrylic paint. The crayons are applied like a pastel stick but can be blended with water. Additionally, I am not drawing a pencil baseline before applying color.

Hope to see you there,
