fredericksburg sketches

A visual Celebration of our community

By Paula Raudenbush

William Street

I've gotten in the habit this summer of going to the Farmers' Market early on Saturday then sketching. Now that the weather is cooler, it's so nice to be out in the morning and the light is usually beautiful.

This sketch of William Street was done from near the market at the intersection with Prince Edward St. I intentionally left the trees blank because that wasn't what I was interested in. I'm still struggling drawing cars but I think I'm getting a bit better with people. I rather like the lady crossing the street with her market basket.

Hope you all are enjoying autumn in our beautiful city. Get out there and sketch with me! Cheers!
