After a show and tell, we strolled down to a pub and celebrated our activities in 2016. Some members brought their sketches that amused us and amazed us.
All members want to say special thanks to an organiser, Jennifer. Her hard work for all of us is priceless and precious. Jennifer, a so humble and wonderful lady says, "I thoroughly enjoy my involvement with the sketch club and it is all the friendly and talented members who make the times so enjoyable." Oh, you're so nice! I always learn from Jennifer how a leader leads members and cares for others. She's a legend!!
In a pub, I sketched one more, an overseas visitor and artist. His mustache and beard interested me. I do not miss an opportunity to grab a moment. Although it was quite dark, I enjoyed this work. I always want to capture an individual mood in work. I hope I will more develop "mood" or "something" in my portrait work in 2017.
Thank you very much for Jennifer and all members, for your wonderful friendship! In a tough time, how much this club has lifted me up. Friends, it's wonderful to belong to a same minded group. At the end of the celebration lunch, each of us hugged and said, "Have a wonderful holiday season. See you next year!"
I'm becoming very busy with a picture book illustration, "My Dog Socks". It occupies my head and hands. Before Christmas, I want to achieve a small goal set in a year plan. Gulp. Sadami, go for it!
How is your holiday season? Do you have any plan? I hope you will have a wonderful time.
Friends, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Painting!
Yes Go for It, Sadami. Nice to catch up with you on your blog. I have been on facebook most of the time. It's lovely to see you painting a person, which I find so hard, I go Urban Sketching with Liverpool Urban Sketchers. I find it so addictive and I love it more each time I go. It's a lovely thing to do. You have inspired me to try more closer sketches of people. Your faces are so full of life. Wishing you all the best x
ReplyDeleteHow's going, sweet Pollly? Thank you for visiting and a kind message. Yes, sketch people as many as possible. It's the best and shortest way to learn it. Find your own answers. I belong to both Sydney sketch club and Australian Urban sketchers. I do FB, balancing time between blogging and FB. Wishing you all the best, too xxx Sadami
