My garden has produced almost nothing this year because of the heat, so I took a trip to the Fayetteville Farmers Market to buy some vegetables. I took my art kit went with me. My kit is minimal: a mechanical pencil, a kneaded eraser, a Pitt pen, a Winsor-Newton watercolor field kit, a Ninji waterbrush, a moleskin journal, and a Canon Powershot, all stashed in a reusable black Wal-mart shopping bag.
I wish my yard looked as fantastic as the town square garden.
There was a contest for budding vegetable sculptors.
The winning sculptor would receive a Chia Pet.
The market wasn't very busy, so I listened to some of the musicians, talked to some of the exhibitors, and took a some photos.
Taking a seat on a stone wall, did a quick pencil I sketch of the market. I'm not thrilled with the result, but the more practice I get, the better the results should be.
I'm looking forward to doing more drawings on location this fall.
