Downtown Bay Shore

I find that even the backs of buildings make interesting subjects to sketch. I found a parking spot in one of the lots in downtown Bay Shore and sketched this collection of buildings along with the snowy street.

  3. I love this street scene. Downtown Bayshore looks a lot cleaner than downtown Brooklyn.

  4. Hi Joan, I'm loving your blog! I found it. Is a thread on Wet Canvas where you described using 4x6 watercolor cards for your sketches and paintings. I would like to know more about that. Do you still work in that format? Thank you for sharing your art.

    1. I tried responding by clicking your name but your blog denied me access. Looked for you on WetCanvas but so far no luck. How can I reach you to give you more info?

  6. Thanks, Lorraine!

    Hilda, thanks. You and I have got to meet some day.

    Carol, but that is part of the charm of Brooklyn. lol

    Wendi, thanks for coming to my blog to look. Yes, I still use 4 x 6 cards for a lot of my work, especially when I travel.

    Sherry, I've been trying to practice drawing cars. They are so much harder than people, and are really so much a part of a lot of scenes. Thanks.
