An Evening or Two in South Beach Miami

Recently work took me to South Beach Miami where I had a few evenings free to wander and sketch. These are two of my favorites. I hope you enjoy them.  Watercolor, brush pen with warm grey ink, and a Noodlers Ahab flex fountain pen

with Polar Black. Both drawn and colored in relative dark so the colors are always a bit of a surprise!



 
These last two are iPad sketches using Procreate.

Twin cities Nicc Ave Urban Sketch

I haven't gotten the chance to do as much Urban Sketching lately. Today I had to wait to get an appointment and used some of the time (in between work phone calls and emails) to sketch from the great window of the Minneapolis downtown Barnes and Noble café.
 
This is an iPad sketch using the ArtStudio app.
 
 
 
As you can see, while springtime is here, so are the jackets, hoods and hats!

Speaking at Open Book to the MCBA on the artistic medium of the iPad

I had the privilege of speaking to a great group of MCBA artist at Open Book in Downtown MPLS on Monday night.  I thought I would share the description below. I was surprised to see other people blog about the event afterward and have included those links and encourage you to look around their interesting sites. The http://www.orangespiralarts.com/my-blog/2013/03/mcba-visual-journal-collective-gets-digital.html has photos of the event.
 
"Urban Sketcher James Nutt is going to be speaking and demonstrating digital sketching on the iPad at the Monday meeting of the MCBA Visual Journal Collective on March 18th at 7:00 pm.

The referenced blog is by the amazingly talented Roz Stendahl. Her blog is an amazing resource for art technique, book making, painting, paper, sketching, and so much more. We encourage you to look around and possibly learn a little more about the MCBA Visual Journal Collective.
