I scheduled a meetup and had a few artists meet me out for an afternoon of drawing on Canandaigua's City Pier. I plopped myself down and tried to capture the beauty of these crooked, well-loved floating homes. They are so unique, and old, with a ton of character. I especially like all of the wire hanging from pole to pole. They are an interesting tangled mess. For temporary homes, they seem to have a lot of need for wires!
Drawing 1:
-I used a pencil to plan out my attack and a thicker nib Lamy Safari for my lines. I added some watercolor as well--trying to be patient and not have my sketch turn to mud.
Drawing 2:
-Same subject but I tried a "single line" drawing. I started on the left and cruised to the right with only one line. If I missed something, so be it--keep on going!
Drawing 3:
I parked myself under a shady tree with some may flies and people galore. There was a bench situated right in front of me and people would come and go making perfect models!
