Paper and Threads

I spent one day this week sketching with the New York City Urban Sketchers Group.  All of our time was spent in the West Village and I used an accordion watercolor book that I made last year for my paintings. 

Here is the open book showing the portion of the paper that I covered. 

The front and back were covered with paste paper that I made in a 2013 workshop at Center for Book Arts.

Flowers, a bird feeder, and a house sparrow in a garden of a St. Luke's Episcopal Church on Hudson St. 

A landmarked house in a beautiful area near the Cherry Lane Theater. 

Table items at Pain Quotidien where 8 of us stopped for cold coffee and tea.

This group was the new "weekday" portion of the NYC Urban Sketchers Group - and hopefully the group will be able to support both a Saturday and Weekday group to accommodate many different work schedules.  I will fill the rest of this accordion the next time I sketch with them.
