When I saw that this week’s Urban Sketchers Flickr group theme is to sketch our sketch kits, it
occurred to me that it’s been a long time since I’ve done any metasketching. (That’s the term I tried to coin a couple of years ago to mean
sketching one’s sketch materials, but I discovered that it already means
something. Gabi uses it to mean sketching another sketch or painting. It apparently also means something
related to computer modeling.) The
last time I metasketched was a year-and-a-half ago on a day similar to today – with pouring rain (though it’s not
threatening to snow today as it was then).
If truth be told (and anyone who has seen a photo of my actual bag dump knows
that this is the truth), the sketch above is only a portion of my everyday-carry;
I didn’t include my “Stefano” sketchbook, mixing pan, spritzer, travel brush, Zig markers and additional multiples of various
pens and other things I can’t seem to leave the house without. And of course I
have more than one pair of glasses and watercolor kit, or I wouldn’t have been
able to sketch and paint the glasses and watercolor kit, right? (Whoa,
mind-boggling.)
The good news is that I now have a double-duty sketch for InkNaNoDrawMo as well as the weekly
theme.
The bad news is that the forecast for the rest of the week looks much
the same as today:
Sorry about the forecast but at least you found something fun to sketch, and since you only sketched part of your supplies you can continue with another sketch tomorrow. lol
