Hats! Hats! Hats!

 

What fun it was to gather at Pat's with all sort of hats, and to sketch each other in our outfits.  There was a bit of Halloween in the air, as well as residual energy from Phyllis' 80th birthday.  Looking at my sketch of Phyllis as a witch, it kinda looks like she grew a beard!  I guess witches will do that.  And Judi ... her flowery hat and flowery outfit looked like Monet to me... and Marilyn .. I love her Annie Hall glasses and her cool vest.  What artist does that remind me of?  Hmmmm....

Sketcher Halloween Night Out

A few of us went to sketch Boo La La Burlesque for Halloween at WICA last Friday night. We met Draculala, Dirty Diana, Fuchsia Fox, Disco Pony and more. So much fun!

 

 

 

 

Ever notice how much Dracula has in common with old, caped Elvis? This is the sort of insight you gain while sketching.

 At the after party in Zech Hall, we all sketched Phil, the piano player. After the after party was over, we headed to Mo's, and were joined by Colin in pink bunny pajamas (or something).

 

And I wish I could figure out how to eradicate the blue shadows in my scanned images!

Halloween at Studio 106!

Thanks dear WISkers for making Halloween so dang much fun this year! The costumes were magnificent, the food fabulous, the sketching endless, and Studio 106 was pulsing with laughter and creative energy. Paula was magnificent as Queen of the Night just stopping by for awhile on her way to the opera. Nothing could make Judith look spooky, not even her cracked china doll face. Her inside out jacket was a stroke of genius. Of course Mary, with her new hair do, nearly stole the show. But wait! Miss Piggy posed provocatively for us, moving only to sip her wine. Kathy the skeleton, took a yoga break. Sherryl looked rakish in her top hat fascinator, and Sue's spider head dress scared us all. Faye underwhelmed us a bit as a purple crayola but she got points for creative thinking. Ann may have been a ninja warrior dressed in all black. Tricks and treats all around!

The Witches are Swirling

The Witches, Crows and Spooks are gathering around Sharen and Simon's home.

Using the synthetic paper, Yupo, keeps the colors intense and playful.

Crows & Spooky town

Hello all,
I'm rushing this onto the web tonight because the next week is crazy.  We had a wonderful day sketching in Langley and then Happy Hour or more at Sherryl's comfy home.  Sharen Heath has done it again, with the most fun and creative front yard in Langley.  Langley has a kind of crow thing going on and we attribute it to Sharen's wonderful Tim Leonard crows.  Enjoy!
