I love how you compiled all of the little sketches into a ‘final’ piece. Just gorgeous! What were the older ladies’ reactions to the sketches?

I have yet to watch the video but I love your synopsis of the day, Sandi. Looking forward to viewing after my work day.

I love this! That's a great idea compiling it all together like that. I have yet to venture out to sketch but this makes me want to :).

It's great the way you are able to come home from a sketch outing, and keep right on working. After I go out to sketch, I'm not good for anything except for sitting in my easy chair in front of the TV when I get home. Well, sometimes I have enough energy to order more art supplies...

I love all the work you did there and the final compilation piece. It's always so nerve wracking when people notice and then worse when they come over! Lol. I always want to get one of those working dog vests but mine will say, DON'T COME OVER! ARTIST AT WORK.

Ah yes people can’t help but be nosy sometimes and it throws off my whole focus as well . “ Move along folk’s , nothin to see here !”

I love your sketches. Too funny that everyone noticed. Did anyone complain? Were they upset? And I have had an injured tail bone for several weeks. No Fun! Protect those tushies!

So funny about the terrible seats. They want people to hurry away I guess. Fun though!!

My friend and I had one lady apologise to us for being in the way,we told her we loved her jumper and we could draw her but she was too shy,I think it is better on your own sometimes conversation wise

This may be a silly question, but are the coffee shop sketches meant to help you just practice drawing what you see, getting more people practice, and/or is your plan to make these into a finished piece some day? Maybe all of the above? And let us know if yall ever want more company; I am local and would love to join you! 😆

Artist’s sketching tip: bring a box of Kleenex, fake blow your nose and scatter the “used” Kleenex around your table. Fake cough for added effect.

It's so lovely to see the sketches you made. I'm still so anxious about sketching out in public, but I'm determined to overcome that this year. I did a small sketch in the library last week, but I only had a few minutes so didn't really get much down. I love the painting you made from all your 'notes', I love the idea of combining them like that.
