Essex Market and...

Always fun to visit the LES with its' eclectic melting pot. The Essex Market has an old world feel which made for some fun sketching. My first sketch was a bread shop.
 
Warning! These next sketches are not considered "Urban Sketching" so if you are offended, turn off your computer now! After lunch and another quick market sketch, many of us went to Dr Sketchys. This was my first time, and I am ready to go back! I worked large (19" x 17" paper), and mostly in oil pastel, which I have only used once before.
This first page is the 1 minute warmups.

 
 
This next group is a conbination of two minute and 15 minute sketches. The theme was Russian Fairytales.



 
This last sketch is a total suprise. We were asked to try our non dominant hand. I may become a lefty!
