Breakfast at the Hotel Hammer 3, 2, 1 (iPad sketches)

This month, I spent several days in Mainz, Germany, where my husband was teaching a short course at the university.

After the first couple of mornings, I used the morning breakfast time as my "sketching from life" opportunity.

Each morning I set myself up in a corner, so no one could see what I was doing on the iPad.

These sketches are in reverse order: the first at the bottom, the last at the top.

By the way, should you be going to Mainz, the Hammer is a good place to stay:  nice rooms, breakfast and staff, right across from the train station and easy walking to the old town.

On the Fast Train From Brussels to Paris (iPad Sketch)

Drawn from life a couple of days ago, when this part of the world was having a heat wave.

I am just back from a few weeks in Europe. 

Several train rides and some plane rides were involved. (Superb, if a bit bumpy at times for iPad use.)

Artichoke in Flower (iPad Painting)

Drawn from memory and imagination, this past week, in Portland.

We drove out to Sauvie Island for fresh fruit and found some flowering artichokes.

Drawn with iPad, using Sketch Club app.

I'm discovery a lot of fun features of this app, like the capability of making a photo into a "brush stroke,"  something I have done in the lower left.  (Magnify to see.)

Barista on Cell Phone; Barista Talking (iPad Sketches 12 and 10)

Drawn from life Wednesday and Thursday mornings at the cafe. 

Different baristas.  Same cafe, same order.

Triple espresso, over ice.

(It's hot.  Don't judge.)

Sketch Club app, single layer each.

Afternoon Tea (iPad Sketch 11)

Drawn Wednesday afternoon, outdoors at the bakery.

This was the first time someone asked me what I was doing.

The man seated behind me asked me about what I was drawing.  We talked for awhile, until I got too self-conscious and fled.
