| 5"x7" Annex Neighborhood |
Earlier this month I found myself in Toronto, Ontario Canada.
Why was I there in March after one of the worst winters in history? It’s a long
story but in short we were on the East Coast for my brother’s wedding and
decided to do a side trip to Toronto. Toronto has a lot of great Architecture and
neighborhoods just asking to be sketched but my hopes of doing a load of
outdoor urban sketching and painting were dampened by the 15-30 deg F weather.
I did however make the best of it and was able to do a bit of sketching from
inside looking out windows and also at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) and Ripley’s
Aquarium. Below are the results from my
sketchbooks, these were done in my 8 ½” x 11” Stillman and Birns Alpha
sketchbook and the small ones are from a 5”x7” ”Nature Sketch” sketchbook.

Wonderful winterscapes. Like your paint palette very much especially the sky in 'barn in Cabbage Town' and 'new meets old'.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb its a limited pallet since I have to fit all my paint in a Altoids box. I mainly use Raw Sienna, Burnt Umber, Cerulean Blue and Ultra Marine Blue.
