Urban Sketching @ Kenmore Air

Sunday Urban sketchers sketched the operations at Kenmore Air.  It is a great location and fun to see all the float planes being loaded into the water and prepping to take off.
Here are my sketches for the day.  Things happened so fast there you had to capture the scene quickly.  As a result I was able to do 5 sketches.

  3. Great series! Wonderful gestural line yet very descriptive. And the people working on the planes add a nice human dimension.

  6. John,
    I place the copyright by using photoshop.
    when I scan my drawings, I usually adjust the levels and colors before putting it in the blog. The scanner doesn't do a true job of matching the colors so I play with the levels and saturation sometimes. Photoshop will also let you type in your name with the copyright symbol. Option G on a Mac. That's how I do it...also you can play with the opacity of the typed words. I usually do 60 percent so it isn't so bold.
