This morning I met with the Urban Sketchers Tacoma Chapter at Feast Arts Center, a wonderful little place where art classes are taught in the Hilltop neighborhood in Tacoma and Chandler O’Leary is presenting her solo show “Drawn the Road Again” full of amazing sketches. To me they are much more than sketches, they are fantastic pieces of art and I was inspired by her talent and creativity. When it came to go out for a fun sketching session I realized that it was very warm, 93 degrees with bright sun, therefore I asked Pat who is another wonderful artist if she wanted to come with me to once again the University of Puget Sound which was about 5 minutes from this venue. She said yes and there we went. We both found some nice and shady areas with amazing views to sketch, sat down and inspiration arrived. We even saw a mother deer with her two fawns! It was great! Here is the sketch I was able to accomplish during the time we spent in Campus.





What a nice blog, Daisy! I love the energy and color in your sketches. Also, your ‘mark making’ is beautiful and daring. What a delicious starting place for your journey in Urban Sketching. It will be great fun sharing outings with you! Frances
Thanks so much Frances, you are so sweet! I’m looking forward sharing more outings with as well. It is always fun and inspiring.
