It was a magnificent day and a very peaceful and relaxing experience sketching at the resort. I love eating there, too. The food at the Wandering Horse Buffet restaurant is way above what you think of when you think "buffet." I should have photographed my lunch. Absolutely heavenly.
Here is the one and only drawing/painting that I did for this sketchcrawl. I bit off more than I could handle for a one-day project. I decided to take three subjects and put them into one image--like I do when layering photos in Photoshop. The nice thing about photos is that the work is done by much faster processors than my brain's!
And here is the photo from which this drawing/painting was made.
I recently purchased a Lenovo "Idea Pad" which was my alternative to the I-Pad. It is approximately the same size but has a keyboard. Because it has a system I can use Photoshop wherever I go inasmuch as I like to work from photos. The computer fits into my carrier along with my art supplies and journal.
A few of us met at the coffee shop on the ground floor before going our separate ways to sketch. The cappuccino was so aromatic and the pastries in the display case looked so good! It was a great way to get energized for the hours of sketching to come.
Here are a few more photos.
I lived in Las Vegas for four years and never was attracted to gambling but casinos definitely have a unique energy about them. And I love the color!
WOW! An absolutely gorgeous sketch from the day...LOVE it to pieces! Your photos are lovely as well...I must make it there one of these days...:)
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the bread here. In one of the first pictures, that is. The tiles are pretty cool too.
