See it Draw It

Last year I joined up with a drawing group. They organize a once a week get together in the summer months at various interesting locations. We've been in a guitar shop, a sailboat club, artist homes plus more.



This year we began with Oak Grove Cemetery . It was right before Memorial Day and the flags were set to honor those that served their country.

Next up the owner of Norwegian  Fjord horses. A rare treat of a unique breed. This one I didn't do onsite since we had appointments so I stopped in for some photos and worked on it later. You can probably tell I put a bit more effort into this subject matter. 

We meet at Onalaska's Waterfront, where the Great River State Trail and Great River Road meet.

To finish off the first month Cottage Grove Nursery in West Salem was kind enough to allow us work while they were open.




Drawing at different settings with this group is a great exercise and opportunity to capture views we may not have happened to come across on our own.

It's amazing all the different styles of drawing among the group. Part of my discipline to grow my observational skills and composition.
