The NYC Public Library

I was trying the Direct-to-Watercolor, which from now on I will call "D2W", for this scene on my way home from work.  I chose the spot facing North by the entrance to the library, looking at the trees and a bit of the scene.  Not sure what would come out during my limited time but I managed to lay down most of the colors I saw.  Once I got home, I added more colors and here's what came out of it.

Waiting and sketching

Last week, my brother and I showed up on our appointed date for some certified documents at the Spanish Consulate in NYC.   Though it was booked three weeks in advance, we still had to wait.  Made this one sketch while waiting for our turn.

A Garden Themed Party

Wednesday last week, after work, there was a gathering by the Pershing Square Diner.  It looked like some people were dressed as trees and floral arrangement.  I had some 10 minutes to sketch them before I board my train home.  Eventually, I added some watercolor at home.  I think it was sponsored by a distillery with a hashtag #hendricksmidsummer.

On Elizabeth Street

There was a shaded parking space by the Sterling Opera House on Elizabeth Street, Derby, CT where I did this direct watercolor sketch.  It's a view looking down toward the Housatonic River.  There are many nice spots in this town to come back to for another day of sketching.

A Saturday Wedding Day

Chandra and Kevin couldn't have a much nicer weather on their wedding day!  It was a picturesque setting, too, at the Waterview in Monroe, CT.  I saw the courtyard setting where the ceremony will be held and it was just absolutely gorgeous, I had to sketch it quickly - in watercolor - and later gifted it away for them.

   

Scooters

I sketched one of the three parked scooters during the less than 10 minutes before the my train to the city pulled into a stop at the Harrison station.

Azaleas

I clipped a bunch of azaleas and put it in a vase but never got to the intention of sketching it until one rainy evening.  It was for fun and experimenting with watercolor.
