Inspired by Lynn's two recent sketches of the playground equipment I had to give it a shot. I went down to a local park nearby where I knew I would have a view from the car. The last few days here have been far too cold to think about sketching outdoors. I'm jealous of those of you who are having warm enough weather to do that. We get a tease of a warm day now and then, but then the temps go back down. Anyway, first I sketched a few people near the swings.
Then I sketched the climbing equipment. I liked that a few people were out braving the cold so I could include some figures in each sketch. lol
Hi Joan. What an awesome sketch. Really quite good. I love swings. In fact I've been after my husband to build me one or else I will order a swing to go in the back. I need to swing for some reason or other. Love your sketch Joan. Hope it warms up a little for you. Take care.
ReplyDeleteLove that my park drawings sent you to your park! You really got that swirly slide done right!and people too! Love both of these Joan. I can tell it's winter there too! Bare trees!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fun playground! I'm glad you didn't have to get out and freeze to sketch it.
ReplyDeleteThanks MeOfCourse, Lynn, and Melisa. It would be so nice to sit outside and absorb a little sunshine. lol
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and straight angles in this drawing.
ReplyDeleteThese are both so sweet! I especially love the first one. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely scenes, Joan! I love the people you've drawn. They are definitely hardy souls, out there in the cold, determined to have fun! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful sketches, and such a colourful play-park. I love the geometric shapes you have clearly enjoyed drawing and painting, and you parked your car perfectly for two great compositions.
ReplyDeletei enjoy your playground sketch joan. the colorful playground lifts the mood of the otherwise somber surrounding. I am blowing some sunshine your way! :)
ReplyDeleteJoan, you seems not to have any flowers or plants growing up there in the park. But soon we can enjoy the sun ans warmth too! Lovely sketches you have done in the park:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Fran, Arnoldo, Margaret, Jez, Elisa, and Sirkka. Like me some people still venture out when activity is involved since it helps us stay warm. Sketching isn't active enough to do that. lol
ReplyDeleteI like the people and the bright yellow slide. You can feel the chill in the air.
