spring comes to union square

Spring is here in NYC, and that means Union Square is hopping. Made this quick drawing while waiting to meet the students of my last Pratt Location Drawing class this semester. What a great group, I was sorry to see the class end. Posted by Veronica

 

Two Ladies

MH_EPCOT_2WOMEN

I was looking through some of my older notebooks and I came across this drawing I made of two kinda whacky ladies at Epcot  in the Chinese Pavilion. God I love how amazing and different people can be. I really love to “people watch!” Definitely one of my favorite things to do in life!

Lost at Sea

Spent a weekend with Veronica, Margaret, and the Dalvero members in Mystic. It was nice to the see our show again and I started working on a new project. —Dominick

Drawing a Thought

A page out of one of my sketch books. Ink drawing. I don’t trust my mind to retain all my thoughts, so as ideas come to mind I like to put them to paper as fast as I can.

the morgan

vl_morgan_april_2013

Had a chance to travel back up to Mystic Seaport last weekend, to make a few more drawings of the Morgan before they lower her back into the water. The Dalvero Academy exhibit artists will be there to document the event and we want to do a few more drawings before it happens.

It’s amazing to see the same ship we’ve been drawing for two years, yet with all the newer wood put in place, she looks different. The spirit is still there, though.

Tiny Torri

JAPAN_TORRI_WEB

This is a tiny torri watercolor, 3.5″ X 3″, with caran d’ache accents. I painted/drew the torri at Epcot Center at Disney World in Orlando. Pretty abstract and hugely fun to paint! I highly recommend it!

Horses

A few years back, I had the opportunity to get up close and personal with a couple of (very large) horses. I mainly did a lot of shooting that day as their handler had them trotting, galloping and doing all kinds of things. But as I was looking through the photos recently, I found a few drawings that I did that day. Here are a couple.

tree lined

From 2006, a crayon drawing made in Paris. I believe I was sitting on a bench in the Tuileries Garden during the afternoon. Nice memories.
