I became a member of KWUrbanSketchers group that organizes several
events around Waterloo region over the year. On their recent event, at
St.Jacobs Farmers' Market I was overwhelmed with beautiful weather. It was a two hour long trip from Toronto to
this wonderful rural location, where entrance of the market is ornamented with
a Horse drawn wagon station. The sunny outside inspired me to do a watercolor
sketch of the wagon placed beside a store. However, I was rushing at the end of
this sketching, as an unexpected frozen rain pushed people to get inside the
market. The interior space was packed with crowds. When you running short of
time you can try a quick sketch on a toned paper. In the picture on the right,
an effective technique was tried. Specially, when there are multiple sources of
lighting, a toned surface helps us to set the mid-tone and local color. I tried to capture the interior light.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience with few other artists from Waterloo.
