WICA costumes & UUWC

Day late and a dollar short!  That's me these days.  Here are three sketches that I haven't posted yet.
Thank you to WICA and the costume loft for lots of inspiration and Unitarian Universalist Church for hosting us and providing a show for our sketches.  I love the huge wall hangings at UUCWI and you can see I added a couple of the real windows of the view.  The hangings win!

Sketching @ UUCWI

So very pleased at the turnout for the reception/sketchout at "my" Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island. Lots of sketchers doing their "thang", and a nice "drop-in" of people from around the community. They all seemed to love the display of our work, our sketchbooks and to see us in action!

Whidbey Island Sketchers Show

Judi put together a terrific Whidbey Island Sketchers show at UUCWI In Freeland. And it is wonderful to leisurely thumb through the many sketchbooks on display. They're personal journals that give a glimpse into the artist's life. All are very unique and special.

One of the many pluses of sketching with the sketchers is there's always models to draw. And they sit pretty still. Here's my sketches of the day. The main congregation room with Judi.

 And a sketch of new member, Marissa. Thanks for sitting fairly still, Marissa. Nice to meet you!

Whidbey Whimsy: Judi's Papier-mâché Birds

Judi and the UUCWI art committee did a beautiful job of displaying Whidbey Island Sketchers' work at the Whidbey Whimsy art show at the Unitarian church. But the sketchbooks were my favorite part of the exhibit. You may never again have the opportunity to see all these fabulous sketchbooks in one place and be able to flip through and enjoy them at your leisure. Truly a visual feast. I sketched the fun and fantastical wildlife -- papier-mâché creatures sculpted by Judi Nyerges.
