The Essex Market had so many little scenes going on I wanted to sketch them all.
First I sketched "Pain d'Avignon." I couldn't decide if I wanted to sketch it or devour what was inside.
Then I turned slightly to sketch the New Star Fish counter.
A half turn brought my focus to the Heritage Meat Shop.
A break for lunch brought us to the Meatball Shop. Marie and Amy were sitting across from me.
I did the sketch on site but added the color when I got home. The restaurant was too busy to occupy the table for too long.
Back at the market I had 20 minutes for a quick sketch of the Saxelby Cheesemongers.
Then many of us headed off to a Dr. Sketchy event, which although it isn't urban sketching, I'll show you my one of my sketches of the model with some sketchers at work...Amy was one of them.
A very active day with wonderful results. Observation, your quick 20 minute sketch is every bit as strong as the others. Loved the dual portraits of Marie and Amy - very successful.
