sketchbook 06/11/09


This is the façade of the old ROM sketched from a walkway that leads to the new Crystal wing. The walkway had a great irregular shaped opening that I thought would be a nice framing device for this view. I wished I got a bit more of the opening



A few things I learned today:

1. Allan Gardens Conservatory is spelled with an "A" instead of an "E"

2. me+watercolour+drawing vegetation don't mix well.

3. sitting on an iron bench for a few hours-- not very comfortable, on several levels.

4. Bring an apple next time.

5. Another great indoor location to sketch for the up coming winter… and it's free.

I have to disagree with you drawing & painting vegetation, I think you did a great job, you captured the essence of all the kinds of plants in there, those in the background and those closer... you'd do great in botany :)
(It took me a little while to figure out what 'tory' standed for, hehe, I'm getting old)
