Thanks to a month of very fast watercolors I’ve lost some inhibitions…
or left my editor in the dust.
I quite like this freeing fast sketching, and throwing on of color!
A page from our San Antonio River Walk:
Some lovely flowers that grow along the River Walk to break up the page.
To let the lovers meander, I imagine, looking for a place to have a nosh.

I started a Facebook group page (you must join to view) to allow everyone to share their virtual sketches, and also where we will, from time to time, take virtual sketch walks together. Come join us On Facebook if you are inclined!
If you want to know more about what a virtual sketchwalk is review my first post.
There are a few more notes/pointers on our first walk through Laguna Beach, California.
I also created an accompanying Flickr group!

Thanks, Dan. On these virtual sketchwalks (ggle maps and wiki images and friends photos) I mostly play with layout and in this one I wondered if I could portray the sensation of coming out from under one of the dark bridges into the colorful riverwalk.

I love the colors and your free fast sketching, Katie. So pretty! I’ve heard the River Walk is very lovely, but I only have been as close as the airport on a layover.

Thanks Mary. I’ve not been either. Dallas, Houston, but no San Antonio. I’d like to go — there are great missions nearby.
