We had a great Sketchcrawl yesterday. There were seven of us at the Heard Museum, 8 if you include baby Kane. Here are a few of my sketches:
I sketched this in the courtyard of the Heard Museum as we were waiting for them to open and for our group to arrive.
The beaded cape pattern caught my eye and I spent a lot of time trying to get the geometric shapes in the correct proportions. As I examined it more closely, I realized that the weaver didn't have perfect proportions either so it was nice to be in good company! I also liked the star pattern baskets and tried to get down the pattern of my favorite one.
There was a fabulous exhibit featuring Navajo artist Tony Abeyta. This little creature was sketched from a large piece titled "Underwilderbeings". When she first caught my eye, I thought that she was a corn maiden because of the pattern on her torso. Once I started to sketch, I noticed the legs and tail and realized that she was a lizard! Maybe she is actually a corn maiden lizard? I suppose that only the original artist knows for sure. Either way, I really enjoyed seeing and sketching her.
Thanks to everyone who came for making this a great Sketchcrawl! I can hardly wait for the next one.
