Sitting around a breakfast table with other artists is a golden opportunity to practice quick portrait sketches. Here's
Ken Laager, drawn with water soluble colored pencils and some watercolor.
Marc Holmes, a leader in the
Urban Sketchers movement from Montreal, also joined us on our trip last week to Massachusetts. I sketched him using black and red-brown watercolor pencils with a little watercolor in the background.
Here's my expedition kit for water media, with casein and gouache in the bags, two watercolor pan sets, a box of pencils, my homemade pochade rig in the upper left, and assorted tripods and camera gear, which I used in the
Higgins Armory Museum video.
