Keeping up the sketching while waiting-still

A few sketches I have been doing while waitng...all with either the Artist Pitt pen xf or micron .03 pen in moleskine watercolor sketchbook.

I added the watercolor washes in the waiting room. I used the niji waterbrush and a small Daler-Rowney portable watercolour pallet.I laid a clear water wash around the images. then with a juicy brush full of Prusian blue and prusian green was my color choice to lay in the wet wash.very eay to push around.

Sketch Journal of a waiting Taxi Driver

pickup at school Waiting at the school for pickup of the kids.

I squeezed this in on the bottom of a page where there was a bit of white space. Houses ran right off the bottom as you see here.

I did these in a quick contour line-ish attempt to keep them loose looking during a soccer practice. I love when I get a few sketches in during these waiting times. This night I got to the last page of my second moleskin!

Travel Lines

Again, still spending much time "waiting". I am working on my Christmas shopping etc. and find myself up and down many of the same streets and Highways. I have begun to sketch during these 5 minute light waits. i keep some blank index cards in my console. Route 19 where I do much of my shopping is lined with oak trees. they still have their brown leaves on them and so I start at one intersection on this tree...move through the light and continue down the road and pick up the drawing with another. I tend to pick items I see repeated in the area or in the car.( holiday wreaths,parking meters, lampposts). Yesterday I actually sat through the green light so I could draw a bit more!! (no nobody was behind me...I would of stayed longer but a car did eventually pull up.)

so I add another place I never thought I would draw from.
