My Brommie

I sketched my bike on the way home yesterday because not much interesting commuters on view from where I was seated.

Commuter Sketch Series 8

My sketches of the morning and evening commuters on a less chilly day than yesterday.

The Green Bicycle

This bicycle was parked right in front of where I was having a quick lunch outdoor.  I didn't have time to finish the sketch but it was good enough for a bicycle outline.

Commuter Sketch Series 7

The Zebra ballpoint pen ink still wouldn't flow nicely so I could barely get going with my sketches in the morning.  Switching to the Bic pen made a big difference.  I managed to sketch several on the way home.

Morning commuters.

Evening commuters.

The Castle

There is a castle in Port Chester, NY near the train station.  I wasn't talking about the recent apartment building that was built across from this castle but the castle itself which I think is now a house of worship.  I found a parking spot parallel to the building and there was just enough light to get this sketch done yesterday.  I should come back and finish adding more to this sketch.

 

St. Patrick's Day Parade

The retaining wall by the First Presbyterian Church on Lafayette Pl corner Route 1 provided an elevated view of the parade route coming from the Town Hall area.  I wasn't paying attention to the parade participants.  Instead, the throng of crowds lining up the street on both sides was captured in my sketch.  Watercolor added later at home.

Commuter Sketch Series 6

I sketched this man on the right on the commute back home, being careful not to get caught looking and observing him because he was seated directly in front of me.  The backpack on my lap was my shield from sketching him.
