Returning to the Houston Farmers Market

The Group

It's always a fun day when we go to the Houston Farmers Market. This time they were celebrating Earth Day, so there were lots of booths set up around the lawn and the market was really busy. We had another good turnout of sketchers too.

Mackenzie and a few others decided to sketch the scene out near the lawn.

A whole line of sketchers set up in the middle of the market to sketch the various booths.

Richard

Richard was on the far corner and patiently answered many curious questions. I decided to sketch the sketchers.

Chris

Mary R

Mary Regan's markers worked especially well to capture those sails and the newly ripe watermelons.

Jennifer

Jennifer worked only in watercolor for this scene with a mother and her children.

Francisco

Francisco reports that this booth owner and her friend had decided he was from the health department...until they saw his sketch. Then they wanted a picture.

Barry

Both Barry and Michael Jap chose the rather difficult long view down the aisle of the market. Michael, of course, did his work in gouache.

Michael

Brittany and Michelle both picked particular booths to draw. Brittany's choice of two tones makes her sketch interesting. Michelle tackled drawing people as did Veronica.

Both Lisa and I did sketches focusing only on the produce. But they couldn't be more different.

And Judith was drawn to the booth selling mocaljetes in every size and shape you can imagine.

Of course there was a throwdown.

And we went to lunch where we talked a little about the upcoming anniversary sketchout in Bastrop. To get in on the fun, or to attend upcoming sketch outs join our group on Facebook by answering some simple questions. Or go over to Instagram to see what people are posting.
