Today (22 January 2010)  I decided to try out sketching in the zoo, haven’t done that for ages… or at least weeks

First few sketches I did standing in the cold wind, had a bit problems as the water froze on the paper, without drying, and mixing colors were hard as it all became ice faster than I could put the layers on the paper.

But good part was that the structure, made by the freezing water on the paper – did ad a bit of texture:

Did a few more sketches outside, that was total disasters, before I went inside and visited the Chimpanzees :

Sketches of Chimps

And a Kameleon – very strange creature…

Last I went on to the new Foster Elephant House and sketched the elephants there:

And the last sketch today:

That was my sketches today, I am still working on the techniques, and combining and practicing the balance between walking and sketching
