Some recent sketches during church. I am using a small Ciak journal. It is about 4"x5". It is an Italian journal and I quite like it. The paper is not real heavy but it will take a light watercolor wash. The oranges are blood oranges. When i go to the bank for work, I go inside a grocery store. The bank is set up by the produce section. These oranges caught my eye and went home with me! I wish the bank tellers could also ring up my purchases! I drew the oranges in another book just before going to church so they were fresh on my mind. The gentleman pictured had a very cool vintage sports coat on! I really liked it. It was a light cream color with an intermittent black square pattern going through it. I am getting over some of my embarrassment of sketching during meetings. Maybe I am just rationalizing the point that I listen better! I definitely listen better if I am awake! The oranges were watercolored when I got home.

The oranges are fantastic!
I like the way you added the color. When I get bolder I will try more color - it still sort of intimidates me.
at least we know your not sleeping on the stand. I really like the back of the head. It is probably the view my kids get.
Very nice Brian! You are really finding your own style--love the line quality!
Beautiful oranges.
Beautiful work and thanks for the tip how not to fall asleep at church, I know now to bring my sketch pad with me.. :)
This is my first vist here and I like your blog very much.
Hey Brian! Your blood oranges just pop off the page! They look so yummy! Great jacket drawing too. :)
Love the oranges too! Nice color.
thank you for leaving such a lovely comment on my blog Brian. I'm happy you did, because it introduced me to your blog - wonderful sketches! I especially love your peppers in a circle (gorgeous use of shadow)
Great blog - I've added it to my faves :-)
I love all these sketches. The details you've picked up on are very nice... And wow, great job with the watercolor!
Hi, this is so funny because I do the same at church. My church bulletin always comes home full of drawings, now I am going to take my journal with me.
Brian, these church sketches are looking wonderful - particularly oranges and peppers.
Brim over I to but I contemplate the collection should have more info then it has.
