The houses of New Hamburg

It's not every day that you are offered a beer while sketching!
New Hamburg is a great town with dozens of sketching opportunities so once again the Urban Sketchers descended on this quiet, peaceful, little town as we prepare for a show on August 25, 5pm to 7pm at Bitte Schon Brauhaus.

It was rainy so I decided watercolours or fountain pen work was out so it was pencil and coloured pencil this day..


First up 190 Peel St and it's wonderful gingerbreading (always a challenge!)

Then with time left over I looked for something a little 'cleaner' OK make that 'easier' !

257 Peel St

Autumn in August rework

Autumn in August

It needed work, I knew that. The impetus came from a 55% off coupon at Michaels, probably the only time I shop there.
I decided I needed coloured pencils that were softer than the ones used, so coupon in hand I went ins search of soft leads ...

I found them in a set of Prismacolor Premier pencils ..

Later, after a bit of work I felt that the sketch was indeed better.
I'm happy now

On here it still looks dull but in person it is positively vibrant!
