21st World Wide SketchCrawl Results

looking down Rothchild Boulevard in Tel Aviv

Israel's full day cross-country SketchCrawl  plans were scaled back because of the worry in the country, but I managed to find a couple of friends willing to go out with me for a couple of hours and participate in the 21st World Wide Sketchcrawl.  We were all 1st time participants, and considering they had no idea what they were getting into, my friends were very good-natured and downright enthusiastic about settling down and drawing. My friend, fellow artist, and veteran SketchCrawler, Marcello, stayed close to home and family in the Galilee, but managed to complete some lovely drawing and paintings all on his own. We were with you in spirit, Marcello! Click to see Marcello's sketch results here.

We perched on the beautiful boulevard Rothchild and here are 3 different drawings of a building directly across from us:

I have been so enamoured with Urban Sketchers that I decided I wanted to start sketching more city things so one day I, too, will be one of the urban sketchers on this great site.  So, I coaxed my trusty friend who lives quite near to meet me in a local cafe to start the series. However, it was so much fun to watch her draw, that I sort of lost sight of my original goal.  (OK, I know it is not terribly flattering of her - but hey - it's art!)

Maybe some of the locals can figure out which cafe this is!   

And 5 extra points for identifying my friend (a well-loved blogger in town).
