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

Another Study of my Fallen Leaves ..

They have been on my desk for several weeks now, getting more brittle as each day passes.

This one was done a couple of days ago in pen, ink and Derwent Graphitint pencil (thanks Vickie!)

Much happier with this rendering especially the hatching/shading on the leaf on the left :-)
