DRAWING MARATHON MERRITT COLLEGE INFORMATION

It has been a very long day...we left at 9 AM and drove from San Mateo to Westlake Village down 101. It rained on and off with gorgeous dramatic skies. I took some photos from the car but I am too tired to download and post them. We stopped at husband's favorite...In and Out Burger. I did a sketch of the madhouse in there. They had a guy outside directing traffic is was so crowded. I am trying different strategies for sketching. This time I started at the top and worked down the page and the results were better getting the figures in and scaled somewhat right. Still not good but getting better. It's all about progress. The next EDM challenge is to draw what you are going to eat for dinner. I am too hungry to do that and let it get cold. Maybe I will draw a salad the next time I have one for dinner. It's already cold!

Since I had a request for more information on the next Drawing Marathon, here it is. I hope everyone who is reasonably close will come. It sounds very exciting. Thanks to Dorise for sending me this information.
