San Diego Public Market

in progress ~ 

I had prepared my sketchbook page using the  botanical stencils I designed (and yes, you can buy them here) and spray gesso. I spray the gesso through the stencil, let it dry, then do a wash of watercolor over the whole page. That's what gives it the textured, tinted background.

Some of our wonderful San Diego Sketchcrawl group

Our San Diego Sketchcrawlers group has been going strong for 6 years now! I described how it works in this post on the Sketchbook Challenge blog.

Friends, food, drink and sketchbooks. Oh, and live music too!

Kathy and my husband, Don.

And of course, I had to take photos of some of the gorgeousness at the market.
