ADVANCED SKETCHING. 10AM FRIDAY JULY 4 ’14 This weather is remarkable. Only because it’s Winter but behaving like Summer.  Just love it. Makes you so alive. Specially when you’re going sketching! Judy and I had our two classes together today, but we each did our own thing,  although we’re working within the same location. The Advanced Sketchers were trying another new way to sketch.
