It was another beautiful (thought hot at 91 degrees F) day at the Desert Botanical Garden. I only managed to get three little sketches done.
This was the first one, drawn from a table near the cafe -
This was the second one that I did as an ink wash, the colors are dreamy and surreal in reality but that quality didn't come out so much in the scan.
The third sketch was done near the "desert oasis" pond. It was noticeably cooler near the water and the hanging gourds were a neat surprise since they blended in so well with leaves.
It was great to see everybody! Craig - thank you for getting the thread started. Your detailed desert path is beautiful.
For anyone who is interested, we are going to be doing another sketchcrawl on Saturday, December 6 at the Desert Botanical Garden since the Chihuly glass exhibit will be installed. You have to buy tickets ahead of time on their website and we are going to be there for the 8am-12pm slot. Please PM me if you have any questions or want more information.
