scanning life through the picture window

silo sketch
A quick ten-minute sketch from lunchtime at the Silo, UC Davis. Sometimes when you have little time its best to capture a scene as quickly as you can. Since its remodeling last year, the Silo has these nice comfy armchairs. I never use them myself as I like to eat at a table (I’m very messy otherwise), and prefer drawing from a table too if one exists, but for laptop users and book readers they are perfect and comfy. Sketched in red and black uniball signo um-151 pens.

    Quick sketches are often the best. My old art teacher used to challenge us to them, especially few-second sketches and drawing without looking at the page. Keep the blogs coming, I’m enjoying reading them.
