VSW: Oaxaca, 2

When sketches go wrong… blobs from a bad pen!
*how to “fix”?  add more blobs… then smear… oops*

I feel good about the looseness of these sketches.
I put the brush between my teeth to get me to play fast and loose!
*kidding… but maybe some days i should*


I love the bright yellow circle as a design element for the cactus divider.


The statue in the museum comes to life.
*not only did the pen leak, but it smudged despite half-hour drying*


I’m happy with this wonky page!
Loose, color ties together, nice design element…

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!
