Hump Day... Santa Fe

I did a workshop on drawing faces this morning...


Then one on using Tombow markers - and other water-based markers- with a water brush. The effect is like water colors with a lovely blend. The coolest thing was using the clear Sakura Glaze pen as a resist!


We went on small group field trips - some to Museum Hill and others to Canyon RoadCanyon Road is a mile and a half of incredible art galleries. I wandered it... in hot sun... with Vivian. 



Kinetic sculptures, chairs made from rocks and very interesting shadows. A bit of Star Wars graffiti. 



For dinner, we went to The Shed (I love the sign) near the Plaza. Cold red raspberry soup and a vegetable quesadilla... The soup was passed around the table with moans and sighs of delight. It was so delicious. 



Once again, I am beyond exhausted, but I had a wonderful day; drew pictures, met more incredible people; and laughed so hard during dinner, I almost wet my pants. :-). Another perfect day. 

Here's a page from my journal showing what I could remember of a cool earring I would love to have... Day of the Dead meets steam punk.

  5. Oh, Wish I was there! As I was enjoying the fantastic photos you shared, the idea popped into my head that I could "join in with you " by having a go drawing from some of the photos.....my own take in a "fake"! LOL! Really, need to use my own photos from my week at Albuquerque in June!
    Have a great rest of the week!
