San Diego Public Market

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!

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

    I love your sketches of farmers markets; we don't have them where I live, so your travel sketches are a wonderful way to "visit" places I shall never see. I'm enjoying the journey!

    I am learning how to design the page in my sketchbook and your sketchbooks are a wonderful example. I was wondering where you got your little palette? It seems to hold a lot of paint and be very compact!
