San Diego Urban Sketchers Pencil Drawing Hillcrest

Hillcrest San Diego Pencil Drawing- of the Pinkberry

San Diego Urban Sketchers Pencil Drawing Hillcrest

Pencil drawing of Hillcrest- buy now

I drew this over breakfast this AM on the patio tables at Einstein’s Bagels in Hillcrest. This is the Pinkberry. Halfway through the drawing someone came and parked a gigantic pickup truck right in front of me. I had to keep standing up and peering over its enormity to finish the drawing.

I’d intended to do a watercolor painting this morning, but the cap had come off my pen inside my bag and it dried out. And though the art store is just across the street, it stubbornly did not open in time to buy a new pen. So I worked in graphite.

Dana Point Drawing

Landscape drawing, Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano, California

Drawing of Dana Point from the pier in San Clemente, California. We were trying to get to the outlet mall Saturday and my travel jinx* took over. Every time we tried to get to the 5 South we wound up on the 5 North. So we headed north along the California coast, aiming for San Juan Capistrano, but then we decided on beautiful San Clemente instead.

*This happens from time to time- though usually when I am driving- and I wind up going in huge circles before finally winding up somewhere I may not have intended to go, but where it turns out I am glad to be.
