Day 330 – urban sketching?

is sketching a friend at breakfast at a local restaurant considered urban sketching?! 

 

  Lowered the left eyebrow. It was too high. Still a bit too high but better. 

Doesn’t look a bit like Marsha. She kept moving. So I am blaming her for the poor likeness.  

I did have a good time dripping and splattering the painting and that’s what counts right?! 

   

Really like the hair.  It was washed with burnt sienna and the darkened with tiny bits of cobalt, burnt umber, mineral Violet and Inathridone blue after the initial wash dried. Fun stuff. 

 Colors used: Quin coral and ochre for skin, vermilion, mineral purple and cobalt,  Inathridone blue for blouse,  mineral purple and burnt sienna for shadows. Hair is burnt sienna, cobalt, burnt umber and Inathridone blue. 

Thanks for reading.

    I do like this sketching and the use of colour and particularly the edging of the dress around the neckline … warm regards Karen

    My paintings don’t look like who they are meant to either, but if I don’t mention who it was supposed to be, they are quite impressive lol.
    Love the way you have used colour, such fun.
