I never get over how many wonderful views this city offers. From the soaring architecture, the lakefront, to the green-garden escapes tucked in every corner. I grab my sketchbook (moleskin), pencils, and travel watercolor set whenever I can fit it in my bag. Here are a few recent sketches from around town.

| Looking North in Millennium Park from the great lawn infront of the stage. June 10th |
Summer nights in Chicago mean free concerts and movies in
Millennium Park. I staked out my patch of lawn early for the concert this past Monday night, and sketched out a quick look at the architecture behind the stage.

| View South from my 10th floor patio - May 26th |
Sometimes a quick sketch can be done at home - over a recent weekend I found time to sketch on my deck which offers great views of the varied south loop architecture.

| Lighthouse off Navy Pier - May 20th 2013 |
This sketch was done on the end of Navy Pier on a bright sunny day spent on the lakefront. I tried to catch the ever-changing shades of the water and the puffy clouds as they sped by.
Hey welcome Kristine. I love how effortless and transformative you seem to make these watercolors appear. I wish I had your eye for color.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Kristine! Love the lighthouse. It's one of my favorite sights on the lake. I look forward to more posts.
