Sylvia Ji April 2010 A day of sketching in cafes and restaurants. It's so chilly here, our group of Whidbey Sketchers preferred to sketch indoors. I'm getting cabin fever and am looking forward to warmer weather for some garden sketching. Sketchers sketching at Useless Bay Coffee Co. in langley. We migrated to Prima Bistro for lunch. We migrated, once again, to La Casita for cocktails. In this sketch, my goal was to try to convey a sense of light from the lanterns.

Artists Turn Their Palettes into Paintings for the Exhibition “Point of Origin” Denis Sarazhin After completing a series of miniature paintings two years ago, Dina Brodsky (previously) turned to her palette, experimenting with the tool of the series’ creation until it became a work of its own. During a studio visit with a friend she noticed he too had created a work on an old palette, however the work was far different than her own. This discovery led Brodsky to investigate other artists’ palettes and how they might manipulate them into works, inviting both friends and strangers to experiment with their palettes. “Everyone I asked made a phenomenal painting, and because they were sharing the images on social media, a few other artists asked if they could participate,” said Brodsky to Colossal. The rapid expansion of palettes has even led to an antique 19th century palette from Spain, which Brodsky believes to be a sketch from Luis Pidal Menendez, a 19th century painter from Barcelona.
